Our first scheduled Sunday flying day of the Autumn season and the forecast, which had looked increasingly gloomy during the week, actually picked up.

Any early morning rain will move NE with a risk of the odd shower in the afternoon.

A dry afternoon with sunny intervals and some strong thermic activity. Maximum temperature 23C.

Our last scheduled Saturday flying before we switch to the Sunday flying programme and a day to concentrate on our youngsters.

Sunny with scattered cloud becoming overcast later in the day when we may see the odd light shower developing.

As part of his adventures at the RAF Shawbury Families Day Geoffrey the Giraffe took a trip with Ian Gallacher in RSGC’s K21. See what Geoffrey got up to.

Just four launches into the day and the wind proved out of limits for the tug. Disappointing for all.

Any cloud will quickly clear leaving a largely dry and sunny day but with the risk of an isolated shower. Increasingly breezy in a W/WSW wind.

Congratulations go to Will Dean on completion of his 100km Triangle.

The club were delighted to be asked to take part in RAF Shawbury Families Day on a very hot August summer’s day.

The sun shone on a cracking day a Shawbury and with the forecast promising great conditions it was the trigger for a number of members both old and new to set personal goals for the day.

Strong thermic activity expected with +400fpm from 10:00 onward with cloud base to 6,000ft expected.

A rather cloudy day with occasional light rain in the morning but turning brighter in the afternoon.

Given the forecast earlier in the week we had several members planning a cross country trip but it was not to be.

A dry start to the day, with some bright or sunny spells and staying bright into the afternoon, though we may see a few lunch time showers.

Another blue sky day with some booming thermals and a great day’s flying at RAF Shawbury.

Dry with long periods of strong sunshine. Very light NNW backing W winds with a max temp of c26°C.
