FebruarylMarch 1986 now exists at the, club and it expanded to include local schools etc it could well increaS9 the number of young members coming into gliding, much as they do in Germany. R.A.W. STRUBBY (Strubby Airlield) Althou9h the' weather has been poor, we have had more soaring this year due to the almost constant westerly wind keeping our sea breeze at bay. We have enjoyed aerotowing with the Citabria and hope this wUl continue. Oave HOrloo nas been flying tlis 1947 Nord 2000; one; of only two (we believe) in the UK. Congratulations to Al'ldrew Scoffin on going solo, tQ Tony Welch on his Bronze C, to Berl Barker and JOhn Turney on their 5hrs and to Stuarl Bailey on gaining his passenger rating. Our club Cleet consists ot two T-21 s, a Boeian and a Skylark 2. N.J.B. ULSTER (Bel/arena) At the end: at November we heard several months' negotiations had been in vain: we had been outbid for Our site and the entire tarm had been sold en, bloc. The new owner had yet to show his hand, except tQ indicate that we can stay for 1989 - during which we can perhaps arrange a secure lease or buy one .of several suitable fields in the 'immediate vicinity. The DoEd grant offer stays good to Maroh 31. With this year, at least, secure we are contidentally planning a full programme - open day, wave and lasl< weeks, summer courses - and you will be very welcome at any 0' them. Despite the wettest summer in more than 140 years' records - an agricultural disaster iin NI- and-very little cross-country flying, we handsomely overshot the bUdget figure ot 1200 laullChes and the target at 1400 by logging 1600+. Some IPleasntlate-autumn/earty-winter weekends helped; on one of them we entertained NIO Minister, Nick Scott. and his wite, who both flew. Most satisfying develoPment at all was the pronounced surge in membership; the November figure ot more than 60 being the highest I can recall. After years 0' selfless service by em Cl'aig trom a 14 year-old schoolboy Irainee to 31 year-old letiring Cfl- and t.ijs wife Mary, her- fan White of Soutlldown GC who went solo two days after his 16th birthday. self a solo pilot, we have lost them to job promotion and Cheshire. Some mainland club will reap the benefit but we 'ho,pe to see them back as visitors. Laurence McKelvie is our new boss and Harry Hanna was the first to 'gO $010 under his regime. To ,recruit the future Bill Craigs, we have slashed the subscription by more than hait for all members under 18 and full-time students under 24. R.R.R. VECTIS (Sandown Airport) Despite Il1e poor weather we have had an active summer with Ken Taylor gaining his Bronze C and several members making thermal flights of more than an 'hour, which isn't bad for a coastal site. We start the winter with a second site for operating our home brew winch and are looking forward to some ridge soaring. Congratulations to Neil Watts on his instructor's rating. AH.B.
