@tim-g I just noticed the change in wind forecast to our favour. I'm going out tomorrow. The nights are cool so I'll arrive later (11:00) and stay a bit later.

SOGGI Dick Colley Big Bird Bash Sunday Sept 28
A great turnout today though a bit windier than expected and not a surfeit of thermals. But some big birds, smaller birds and lots of fun nonetheless. I counted 17 members, at least 4 guests/helpers and about 100 uninvited wasps - that left their mark on some of us.
Wayne Waddington who is an original SOGG founder/member (prior to incorporation to SOGGI) came out to see the fun and take some photos. Wayne was kind enough to take the attached group photo.
Many thanks to Lyle, Marie and Kendra for all the work to host BBQ, which was much appreciated by all, including the wasps.
Ann, sorry you could not make it and please thank our BBQ benefactor.
And Dick we were thinking of you.
Thanks all for coming out,
Andy

@andy-m:
That is a great picture of the members present for today's the event! Thanks to Wayne for providing the photographic evidence! Even though I didn't fly, I surely enjoyed watching the graceful aerobatic displays, especially with some of the larger ships! I truly enjoyed being able, with the help of my family, to provide the bbq'd hamburgers and Jumbo dogs. The wasps were the worst I can remember, and too many of us felt the power of their sting! The one thing I forgot was to take a few moments and talk about our dearly departed friend, Dick Colley. Maybe next year we can rectify that by taking a few minutes to say a few words.
Best,
Lyle

Big Bird Bash Burford Sunday Sept 28
The forecast is a very pleasant 20-26C winds NW 10-18 kph and mainly sunny. Great flying weather - and a free BBQ to boot. Hope to see you there.

Testing the new forum. Wow! It looks like it belongs in this century. 😉

@ann-t Just a test from me too. Great day at Westover yesterday, 8 of us with some decent flights. A team effort too in tree shaking.

@ann-t also a test of the updated forum.
is it just me, or should the posts be sorted so that most recent replies are shown first - seems to me the default is oldest first and I do not see an obvious way to change this.
also, although a signature is defined in the user profile, this does not seem to be auto-appended to posts - I think this would be beneficial
otherwise it looks good, I agree it’s a more modern look.

@ann-t Well I got in and reset my password. Still don't know what to do, though. We need an "instruction for idiots" -Terry

I'm coming out, be there about 11:00. Flying electric.
