Local Meetings

Early post for the looming weekend.
What will the weather gods throw at us,really too early too say.may be ,may be not ,but till i really know ,i will post fri night.
but till then dont forget thurs night social get together at our glynde club,i really would like all red ribs and post rr that are free too come and have a good chat get together with all the questions(and theres millions) that you usually ask on the hill ,i know newbies are worried about asking those numpty questions about flying related stuff and look for the answers sometime with their new flying friends and the internet ,better still ..asked us the numpty questions ,because their are NO numpty questions when it involves you life and others.We all can do numpty things as we all know from recent events on our hill,and myself and most seasoned flyers have learnt the hard way,so the club is trying too help you dont make the same errors,please note we may not have the the answers,but who does,i wish to speak to that dood .Also its about your flying future and how best to get though too your pilot rating.It will be a easy going night and have a chucky,it hopefully will be general questions,and stories of epic flying ..even your story of your first ridge run will be loved by a newbie.we and most forget the monthly club meet is a social one away from the hill and with a beer.
John T will update this post i hope.
See you there unless thursday forecast holds out for one off our sites and you will see me in the air with a happy feeling again,its been over a week with no air action.

Its back to the same old uk weather watching and holding our breath each week for a good weekends flying.Firstly i would like too thank mr John T for looking after you red ribs while i was away ,and seems like i had better luck with the weather outside the uk,but cheers john for posting and doing whats needed for the newbies.
So,since ive been gone i recon some may have not met me yet or the rest of the gang,but this weekend it may happen,early forecasts are promising for our sites ,sat looks poss for devils dyke ,we will see if things change during the week. For those that dont know how too read the weather forecasts or which sites too look at,check out the clubs info pages on weather info in the members weather section,look at more then one and try to work your predictions for whats coming this weekend,and don't be afraid to post on here if need be with any questions related,or any other info you might need help with,but as always im always willing to talk on the hill about any questions about flying,and if i don't know the answer ,i will happily bug my more knowledgeable flying friends to get you the best answer.
If you are totally new from the flying schools,and need to say hello, let us know you want to show us your new flying passion and skills this Saturday,post a hello massage on here if you want to.
As per usual ,i will post on this page on fri night around 6 pm for an update for Saturdays time and place for the activities,and Sundays rrc day will be posted sat night.
see you all on the hill soon...
PS for those that know me. Here's what i got up too while away in brief.
2600 euro miles traveled and camping in the estate car ,5 weeks total,2 separate weekly competitions back to back ,8 other alp sites flown,flew every day bar one traveling home,120 air hours flown, 30 of those days xc between 30k -70k,plenty of hitch hiking after flight which is part of the fun.this is what happens when you love flying,an adventure is only a hop off a hill away.

Hello all you nice red ribs,i hear you had a little flying at Firle on Sunday with John T watching over you all,but i think that you might have to wait till after the weekend to get another chance for some air time action.
Im away for, and from the following weekend for a month ,so ask anyone that would like too help out during this time while im gone flying in some small hills called the ALPS ...
So at present the forecast for this weekend is strong winds.if things change i will be on here updating the post,so keep watching and any takers to help the red ribs ,please post on here as well....

A new month and summer is here,so im informed,but will it be summer weather this weekend.
I say looking ahead at forecasts it is very likely weekend flying at the dyke maybe, will happen....hooray.
But here's the thing ,i can not play due too my body parts falling apart,and needs time to fix.
I hope those that can help out,maybe nick again or that other nice chap mr john T,i will let them update this post the what they will plan for you merry lot.
You all take care in those coming too the busy skys,be safe and dont rush into the air if you have any doubts to your abilities to handle the situation you put yourself in and others.The old saying for those that dont know it yet,Its better to be looking up wishing you where in the sky,then looking down wishing you were down on the ground.
see you all another time .....over too whoever can help.
phil.( not a happy flyer )
