RE: Wednesday Flyers - Liam Walton - 23-01-2019
Well... I'll definitely be there unless it's actually raining and storming at the field
RE: Wednesday Flyers - DaveW - 23-01-2019
This news flash just in from our correspondent on the the Wednesday front. Greg finally managed to coax his drovers dog from the back of the ute and into the sky. Flown very well. The rattling noise was apparently the engine. Juries out there but the drovers dog has been renamed Gregs scanner. Dans cessna looks great at dusk with navigation lights. Dan really needs to progress to silver wings. Jasons valiant looks like a little brother or sister you cant shake compared to Dans cessna. Greg trialled another of Barrys planes which had an urge to roll but should be a quick fix. Just like Barrys skysurfer thats had a nose job. Barrys squadron should be flown to the song dirty deeds done dirt cheap. Dennis threw up his high wing trainer. Engine nicely tuned and flown well. John got out of his sick bed to say gday. Keep him downwind unless you want it too. Speedy recovery John. Now that Greg has flown his scanner the pressure falls on Peter T. The other scanner owner who's plane is like the phantom. Ghost who walks. Heard of but never seen. Come on pete lets see this bird you want to form a competition with. A special thankyou to the member i refer to as BP to his face but many other names behind his back. Barry who supplied the snags today as well as the steakets. Too much stress for me so snag steaket burgers next week for the cost of the usual gold coin. Another BP thankyou for rejuvinating and renovating the verandah deck chairs kindly donated by Marcel and Catherine. When i questioned the shape of the back rest barry suggested that they were probably designed for lumbar support for the elderly. How nice.... a heads up of our future. As usual watch this space next Wednesday for confirmation of a Wednesday fly day

This afternoons flying is on. Bazza burgers defrosting as I type. Looking forward to seeing PeterT^s Phantom. All being well the wind and temperature will drop as its done previously. Hope to see as many as possible
RE: Wednesday Flyers - DaveW - 31-01-2019
Another good turn out. Thanks to those who made it out to the field. The wind did the right thing and eased off towards dusk though Dan continues to lead by example by ignoring it as we all should. Ken and Peter T threw up their Bixlers. Wasnt that hard to tell them apart. Kens wants to clap its wings as it goes vertical or screams past at ground level. Dennis did some nice circuits followed by some plowing at the end. Alas no sign of Gregs scanner which may regain the name of drovers dog and no sign of PeterT^s Phantom. Perhaps we need jungle drums to get it to come out of the hills. Big thanks to Barry for providing the meat for the aptly named Bazza burgers. Another thankyou to Mark for donating surplus batteries to the club members. Its a nice time in the day to be out and about particularly after a day avoiding the heat. So watch this space next Wednesday for confirmation of another meeting with a gold coin donation sausage sizzle
RE: Wednesday Flyers - KENNYGLIDE - 01-02-2019
Thanks to the cook... special effort .. potato scallops, onion, beetroot, tomato... sausages and steaketts,. No one went home hungry... ?
RE: Wednesday Flyers - DaveW - 06-02-2019
Wednesday 6th February flying and sausage sizzle cancelled. I understand there's a management committee meeting today which will decide the level of our involvement in the polocross world cup. Any chance it can be posted asap as it will likely affect a few of us rank and filers.
