Hi Flyers
March 29th is almost upon us ! Hurray
I thought I would keep you up to date. Despite the wet winter the
runways have remained dry and usable . The need to carry out drainage
work has lead to a problem with 06/24 the re-turfing of the trenches
has now established and rolling is being carried out to level the
ground. The runway should only be used
the pilots discretion and risk! hopefully it will soon be back to
normal.
The moles have been enjoying the wet conditions but Daniel has managed
to keep on top of the problem, The toilet hand basin is back in use
please only use it for hand washing. Building maintenance has been
carried out and the dyke to the east has been reinstated which has
unfortunately meant the loss of the bushes growing in it. The Direction
board and the windsock have not fared well over the winter and will have
to be replaced otherwise things are looking good with some new machine
arrivals and new students(potential new members) booking lessons. All we
need now is for the weather to play ball, I expect there will initially
be a lot of circuits flown to refresh old skills so please taxi on the
sides of the runways to keep the centre in good condition I have spent
some time rolling the sides so they should be reasonably smooth. I would
also remind field users to keep observing the Covid protocols to protect
themselves and fellow flyers
Finally I/we are looking forward to seeing you fly again .
Roll on some sort of normality
Welcome back
Best wishes
