Windy and wavy from early on, so we went to watch the hang gliding comp at the Long Mynd and managed to catch up with more old friends. The task was Shifnal for the club class and Stoke for the open class. The wind was off to the south on launch and even more so in the air. The wave also made it very bouncy. Some people elected to go down to the bottom, but there was a slow trickle of pilots going over the back, once the sky had improved.

At lunchtime most people had gone, so we headed home to finish off the LMSC newsletter, which needed to go out today or tomorrow. It’s now with everyone who’s a current member and those luddites who don’t have a computer will get their’s tomorrow.

Rain for the first time in ages this evening. I’d forgotten that it can look grey in this country.

Geoff writes: in the evening we went to music night at the Bridges, with Tony and Sonia. Tony is an old friend from many years ago, when we set up Coda International, an international development agency working in Southern Africa and Central America.  Tony later founded, and runs, Computer Aid, a large NGO sending computer equipment to developing countries.

Music night was excellent – most of it – with Beth finishing off with a four song set. Brilliant stuff.
