Heading to the field for 9:00.
Hope they are not irrigating or cutting today.

Saturday May 27 is our season opener. The forecast is good for flying and we are hoping for a good turnout. Bring any sailplane type you want to fly. If you are not certified to CAR Part IX and have planes less than 250g, bring them along.
We expect to start flying around 9am and there will be a BBQ lunch.
If you have not been to the Burford field before, the address is 100 Fifth Concession Road, Brant. Enter the sod farm on the track to the right of the farm buildings and left of the brick house.
Hope to see you there,
Andy
I plan on arriving at field between 9:30-10:00

I plan to be there too. Keeping fingers crossed that the wind forecast doesn't deteriorate any further.

Update 7 am Sunday May 21. The forecast is now too windy and more westerly than NW, so cancelling my plan.
If the forecast holds I plan to be there about noon. I may adjust the time depending on the hourly wind forecast. Bringing the iSoar and the Sogwing.
Current forecast at noon is 18-27 kph NW 19C. Gets slightly better later.

Update:
Wind predictions have increased somewhat to 13-15 kph, but still doable, imo! I will be there tomorrow as planned!
Morning!
Looking ahead to next week on the Wind & Waves weather site, Tuesday looks to be about the best day for some thermal seeking! Of course things can change but for the moment, I am planning on heading to the field hoping to arrive around 9:30 am or thereabouts.
Check your calendars, and join me if you can. As great as our new field is, flying with friends is the best part....
Cheers!
