Our season ended with more than 15000km flown, an increase of 40% on 1979. Colin McKennan (Kr6CR) and Brian 6eale (Dart 17R) have their Gold distances and Bob Lock (K-8) has completed the first and only Silver C of the year with a flight to Booker. Mike Nield and Mike Beattie are on instructors’ courses this month. 16 The Blanik recently dragged 1000ft of cable across the dual carriageway and through some bedroom windows before dropping it in a local housing estate. We all learned a lesson and batmen now watch like hawks for cable overruns. Eric Winning has become Projects Officer (again) and is organising his 30 or so volunteers in various winter type jobs.
