Ok that's it Spring has sprung, my glider is ready to go therefore it must be so, I think someone did 500k the other day (must be retired). See you up there, it still tends to be a bit parky so make sure you are wrapped up in some quality Wingthing clobber. We still have a SALE on so get on with it and take advantage.

Junior Pilots - make sure you are thinking about entering your Nationals - It will be a seminal flying experience for you down at Lasham, surrounded by ex Juniors British Team and British Team pilots to brief and debrief you. Some of them may even know what they are talking about!  There will be some seats going in two seaters - so talk to Pete Masson to find out what is on offer. If you don't feel you could fly, then crew for a friend or just come down and soak up the atmosphere. :]

Have a great Spring, in the air, on the ground, and of course - above the ordinary...
