EASTER TUESDAY SAW AN ENTHUSIASTIC TURNOUT OF PILOTS AND PLANES AT KIRKISTOWN

At one stage there were eighteen cars on site and we welcomed some visitors who were interested in seeing what we get up to.

One or two regulars were unable to make an appearance as they had been smitten with the 'bug', and for those who did manage to make it, there was plenty of coughing and sneezing to be heard in between between flights.

Other news

A new protocol for helicopter slots was inaugurated today which seemed to meet with the approval of all concerned.  In due course a sign will be positioned at the pilots' box indicating that a heli slot is active.  This will be trialled for three months before being written into the club rule.

Mark, the 'B-Flyer' was signed off by a club instructor to fly solo so we're all very pleased about that.

The club B-B-Q was fired up which added to the atmosphere on the day.  Incidentally, it is available to be used on any flying day, so don't hesitate to bring along your goodies and cook them for  yourself.

A happy group enjoying the Easter sunshine
