Hi all, first of all, I must apologise Alan for not responding to your question on our glider gathering on 15th June. Between one thing and another, domestically and otherwise, I wasn’t keeping up with the glider Ireland website.
On the 15th, the weather was very wet in the morning and gliding finally got going around 1pm. 10 fliers took part and we had a most enjoyable afternoon flying on the NW slope. Can’t remember for sure if I have any photos, but if I do, I’ll post them here.
Today we had our 2nd gathering. Just 7 fliers attended. Wind was from the NE, but unfortunately we got almost no flying done as we were in low cloud conditions all day long. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have a great time though!! Lots of chat and banter. Nice food and a BBQ which was organised by Wally Fogarty.
Regards, Gerry Buckley
