Our Tenth Annual Dinner and Dance, at which the guest speaker was the Mavor of Swindon, Alderman Bown was held at Blunsdon House Hotel during February. The Club trophies were presented by the Mayoress. Many thanks are extended to our Social Secretary, Christine Day, and to her willing helpers for a most enjoyable evening. Since our previous report we have acquired a new Chairman, Dr. David Hart, who has tackled the job with great energy and enthusiasm and we wish him a happy term of office. The season got away to a good start with lots of soaring during the Easter weekend. Our T-21 has been replaced with an ASK-I3, which has proved to be very popular, and the rest of the club fleet consists now of a Swallow, Olympia and Skylark 4. Two new syndicates have been formed recently. Gordon Gulliver, our Secretary, and Graham Hinder now own a Ka-6, and Bernie Keogh and John Bundy have a Ka-6E. We wish Bernie much success in competition flying this year.
