Many of you may
think indoor flying is not for you, I thought the same way, The
first time I flew indoors I had a struggle, but I returned a fortnight
later with another model determined to do better. Now into my second
season I still can't fly an aerobatic pattern, a loop, roll, stall
turn and bit of a prop hang is all I can manage. Venue the main sports hall Chosen Hill School, Brookfield Road, Churchdown, Glos. GL3 2PL. Next
meeting Saturday 1st December.6.00 till 8.00 PM Notice of Annual General meeting.

shot to all members first week of December. If you have any items you
wish to be on the agenda please let me have them by the end of November.

The club auction took place Wed 21st Nov. Sales were well down on
previous years, £293 against £800 last year. This added £30 to
the club funds.
Our auctioneer Doug did a fist class job, seen here selling Mike's 3 metre slope model; the only thing not sold was the painting of the fallen Madonna on the wall, which did not reach it's reserve |

The week last week Thursday Frocester, steady lift, only three fliers Friday at Selsley, a clear blue sky, 4 flier We need a more verbose reporter |
|
Sunday at Selsley, a good session with moderate
lift on the west facing slope. Bryan's ASW27 went well. I flew my Pegase with a video camera on the wing, it did not fly well like flying with one brake out, see video clip, sorry about the quality, I forgot to use manual focus and exposure, also two lots of compression and conversion have not helped. I hope to be able to load videos to our web site when we find some bandwidth |
