Congratulations to Laura on completion of the BGA Assistant Instructor course programme.

Another Sunday scrubbed due to winds gusting to 24 kts and a crosswind out of limits for the Falke.

Booming thermic conditions from the first launch and another fantastic day out at Shawbury with over 14 hours of flying.

A cracking day’s flying at Shawbury with almost 13 hours of flying time.

We were super excited to celebrate Women in Gliding (WinG) Day at Shawbury

The lawn had been mown at Shawbury which meant that we could aero-tow off the grass for the first time.

Another frustrating day of TMG only operations at Shawbury. 

Spirits were high today as we boxed four aircraft and sent them up to Lleweni Parc for the week.

Another frustrating day with just one TMG in operation.

With the promise of great weather and a thermic afternoon all the toys came out but conditions on the ground confined operations to the motor gliders only.

It’s the start of meteorological spring and the weather was with us - fantastic and a lot was achieved today.

Yet another day lost to the weather with low cloud and mist hanging over the airfield.

Yet another day lost to the weather!

With 30 launches on a February Winter’s day we’ve just about cracked the revised operating procedures on Shawbury’s r’way 18. 

The club were delighted to host a return visit by 1st Shawbury Air Scouts, a super evening with some great young guests.
