...now there is someone who clearly loves his work!

 I've just ordered one of these:

Don't worry - it's the vehicle not another Gordo!

 Old Vanity units destined for the bin!

Many congratulations to Cecilia Bailey, 14 years old (dob 30.09.98) who went solo on 3 May 2013.

 What a great night it was!  It started with a little bit of Horseshoe chucking:

Hansa soon got the message that it wasn't a game of fetch!

We had a band and a Caller:

Followed by some dancing:

...and an auction that raised £161 for the GHC.  The main prize was generously donated by Gary and Maureen - that went for £90!!!

There was a Bean Counting contest:

...and then some more dancing.  Some people were really getting into the swing (Quite literally) of things as you will see from the following photos.  Many thanks to Leonie for volunteering to be official cameraperson last night.

We also had a Best Dressed couple award which was won by Q & Gayle followed closely by Merv and Morag:

Even the doggies had a good time:

Many thanks to the Social Committee (and others - you know who you are!) for putting this on and also to Gerald and Nigel and their respective teams for making the evening such a success.

Congratulations to John Carpenter on his first out-landing... Well done!

 Patrick and Dave ready to go ....photo taken at 0722 hrs!!

Kay was on her way to the grid - in case you were wondering....

 Hello to our new Winchmeister  - Rosie.

Nice Jacket!

I hope she isn't getting lessons from the last 'un!!

 Charlie and Ems dropped in for a visit today.  They are both very keen on flying and I hope to facilitate that VERY soon.

I am also setting up a scheme to make it easlier for Treloars students to come up and visit the best Gliding Club in the world.

Toby Wegg,  on the Friday night group had a very successful  time last week.  On Wednesday he passed his driving test and on Friday he was sent Solo.  Toby who is 17 is learning to glide as part of his Duke of Edinburgh award. 

WELL DONE
