THIS year has been a very busy one for the club. With the purchase of a F-100 we have solved our launch problems and we look forward to making next year a record one. Achievements include six Silver Cs. Eleven solos and a considerable number of hours logged. The club’s social calendar /Jas included many parties and the annual Dinner and Dance was a truly spectacular event. The proposed two-seater competition which had to be cancelled, was a great disappointment to all concerned. So many people put a lot of hard work into preparing this event. We. are hoping to try again in 1967, with better results. Private ownership has enlarged the number of gliders now accommodated at week-ends it is, not uncommon to see a Skylark 4, Dart 17, T·21, Kite Il and Grunau busy trying to out-soar each other. The club’s OIy has had one of its most hard worked seasons. A club task week produced some excellent flying, with very professional results. 9 Although our fortunes this year have been at their lowest, the enthusiasm of club members has carried us through the year in leaps and bounds and we look forward to 1967 with, high Diamond hopes.
