At our last census we were surprised to find that half of our members were solo and over a third had progressed to the Olympia. One energetic member had soloed within three months and another had soloed and converted to the Olympia within 12 months. Our Instructor situation has improved somewhat but experienced pilots are still more than welcome. The Country and Syndicate Membership Subscription remains at £2 2s. (plus £2 2s. entrance fee) in the hope that energetic pioneers will join us from afar. 3 At the moment we are fiercely debating our expansion policy and are open to offers of second-hand intermediate solo machines or high-performance two-seaters. We have welcomed visitors from Lasham, Nyrnpsfield, Northampton, Coventry and Upavon, and have scattered ourselves around the various clubs in the summer. The first ‘Saturday of the month is a club social evening, so join us if you are ever in the Vicinity.
