RSGC were delighted to welcome a group from 1st Shawbury Air Scouts on Friday 10 September.

A fantastic day with over 25 hours of flying time and also a day of high achievements.

Dry with plenty of sunshine although some cloud may build from the west during the afternoon.

Dry for Bank Holiday Monday with possibility of early morning low cloud and mist giving way to bright sunshine developing during the day

16 launches and over 23 hours of flying time just about says it all with congratulations going to John Pickard on achieving his 5 hours duration

Looking good for that 50km cross country.

A band of rain will move eastward through the day, bringing heavy and persistent rain easing into the afternoon.

Dry and bright start with some sunny spells but cloudier in the afternoon with a little light rain or drizzle possible later.

With strong winds and rain it was reluctantly decided to call it a day at around lunchtime.

Outbreaks of rain, some heavy giving way to a very showery day. Some of the showers heavy with local thunder. Brighter spells between showers in the afternoon.

It was under heavily overcast skies that we gathered for a busy day’s flying.

Dry with sunny spells expected through the morning however, scattered showers, some locally heavy, will develop through the afternoon.

A continually improving forecast should mean that we will enjoy a good day’s flying.

With high pressure sitting over the top it looks likely to be a 'blue' (cloudless) day with the lack of thermal markers and cloud shadows perhaps making this type of day hot and challenging for all.

A fantastic day’s flying that was enjoyed by everyone, not least by our visitors from the Long Mynd and Manchester University along with two new more local members.
