So with the end of lectures and the start of the soaring season [theoretically], it seems a shame to restrict ourselves to flying only at weekends. While we can't fly during the week at Dishforth, there are three other airfields around Leeds we can fly at, namely Sutton Bank, Rufforth, and Pocklington.
So lets try this: if you think you would be interested in mid-week flying, post your name and number on here, and also whether you would have a car. If you want to go off somewhere mid-week, then you can text the other folks on this list and see if anyone else would be up for it too. Also, when the weather looks especially good, i.e. nice cumulus indicating thermals, and maybe a nice westerly for the ridge at Sutton Bank, I'll send out a mass message and try and arrange something.
We should be able to get reciprocal or day membership rates at the other clubs, but bear in mind the flying will be a little bit more expensive. Remember to bring logbooks and medical declarations, otherwise you will probably not be allowed to fly solo!
I would encourage the recently soloed pilots especially to get involved with this, as flying different gliders at new sites is a great way to build confidence and experience. Also, summer is the time to get your soaring flights in for bronze badge and XC endorsement! : )
Ben, Mondays, and can give a lecture or two a miss if it's gonna be a day like I had last week! Won't have a car in the week, apart from maybe some Fridays. 07756569140
