This past weekend saw a mix of preparation activities for the National Soaring Championships underway at GGC.
Starting on a dreary Saturday morning, a crew lead by Jacques Asselin started work on rebuilding our exterior showers in preparation for the Nationals (July 1st -12th). Base preparations and framing were completed Saturday and the roof framing on Sunday.
Special thanks to everyone who pitched helped out, in particular Ron S., Andrew K. and Lucile H. Due to the effort and push this weekend, we are well on the way to completion by the start of the Nationals. Another thank-you goes out to Andrew D. for fabricating 9 ropes for the Nationals
With a string of wet weekends since MayFly, Saturday evening saw glider pilots doing the next best thing to get in the air. Paper airplanes to the rescue! Unfortunately the flight paths of some of the designs met with an untimely fate as they zoomed into the fireplace.
The weather finally cleared out on Sunday, maybe somebody upstairs took pity on our paper airplane flying…
See you at the aerodrome.
