Thank you John B & Peter Mc for turning up, signing & keeping me company for a while. Too windy to fly & I presume nobody else turning up, so am leaving. See you guys next week.

The wind forecast has turned a bit sour for tomorrow but should be reasonable until late morning but by 10am is creeping up to 20kph. I will be opening about 8.30 and suggest hopeful fliers get there shortly after. Again I will have the membership renewal sheet for signatures and trust all fliers will have paid up by now.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow, the August winds may have come a bit early this year (again) but the morning is looking quite flyable.
We do have a bushcare day planned & by having as many hands on deck as possible, we can again make a good impact on improving our field and gain a good standing with PCC.
There is also the added enticement of Craig's famous tucker on the day.
I am aiming to be at the field 8.00ish and again I will have the renewal sheet for signing.

'twas a good day today, although the wind was strong, there was good flying to be had.
It's just a shame that July has become a windy month ! Hopefully things calm down a little soon.

Thanks to all those who turned up today for the bushcare, many trees were planted which will provide shade where needed in the future.
I should be at the field 8.30ish tomorrow to prepare the field for what looks to be good flying weather, clear skies & a gentle breeze. See you all there.

Hi Bob sorry to hear that you have been sick. Hope you get well very soon. Much better that you stay indoors with this kind of Arctic weather. Hope you are able to resume flying soon.

I waited until this morning in the hope that willy would change his mind & be a bit kinder. Alas not true & we are in for some unfriendly winds by mid to late morning. My wind gauge tree is already waving its warning. I hope to be at the field by 8.30 to set up for those who want to brave the winds. I also have committee nomination forms & the membership renewal sheet.

It was damned windy out there this morning. I left early and noticed that the wind had dropped off just after leaving, but it now appears to have picked up again. Gusts up to about 50km/h in my area.
It's particularly bad at the factory end due to the fact that it's a crosswind, so be careful up at that end when you're on approach.

Weather forecast has morning showers, but little wind. Will review weather in the morning & make a decision to open or not. Watch this space for an early morning post.

Looking pretty damp at the top of the hill at 5AM, and it's been constant rain since 4.
Signature overload. That list just got ridiculous. However, Funcubs are .... fun.

I was considering buying a large water container to water our newly planted trees. I think I can delay that, I envisage they will be saturated lakeside trees at the moment.
I think our field will be a washout all day today and I will not be opening up this morning.
If the rain stops as predicted, I will take a wander to the field & report on prospects of flying tomorrow.

It wouldn't kill me to miss flying for one day, but then again, why risk it.

The field has been freshly mowed on Thursday and has dried out considerably. With all of the runway quite firm and no rain forecasted it is ready for the weekends flying. Tomorrow has the strongest wind forecast creeping up to 20kph by 10am.
Unfortunately I am helping a work colleague move house tomorrow so I will not be doing opening honours. If anybody is planning on opening early, please post your intentions on here of for the benefit of visitors.
Remember the gate code has been changed & members are reminded to check their e-mails for the new code.

I trust all fliers had a good day today in what was described as moderate winds. Judging by my aching legs, arms back & stomach muscles, I would have been better off at the field. I am getting too old for this help friends move house s**t.
I am looking for a more relaxed day tomorrow, winds are forecast at less than 10kph all day, although morning temperature will only be about 4deg C. So get the winter woollies out and enjoy the fine weather while we can.
I will do my normal 8.30 open & field set-up tomorrow & look forward to seeing you all there.

Delayed leaving for driving range because of fog (fog interferes with signal & ball might not receive directional input). May be a bit later than 9 at field
