Let me start by saying that when I went to copy the flight sheet the printer would not work, the display said no ink. This is therefore done from notes, Garrett is forwarding a photo of the sheet to Kevin.

Present were Peter John, Garrett Russell as Duty Instructor, John Knox as tuggie, Tony Sorensen, Barry McCarthy nursing a cold, John Nestor, Arthur Mailey, Mus Latham, new member Charlie Groves, John Nestor, Arthur's friend Ray Griffiths, Mike Grady, Robert De Jarlias, Karl Bodi,  and yours truly, all in no particular order.

CQC, GYK and GJY were disrobed and DI'd, and towed out to 12, the old pie cart was used and the gazebo for shade. 

The new Barina would not start, something is wrong in the electrics, it probably won't be available tomorrow, best not to use it. 

John Knox and Mike Grady did the morning launches, Karl Bodi arrived around mid day to take over.

16 flights were achieved, a mixture of training, checks and solos and family friends.  

Arthur did 2 flights in the Libelle, 43 and 56 minutes, the two longest flights of the day. 

The stats: 

CQC 2.44 in 7 flights

GYK 2.29 in 7 flights

GJY 1.37 in 2 flights.

Mus Latham is leaving us to return home to WA, he very kindly filled the fridge this morning so that after flying we could all enjoy a beverage. A gesture of thanks for the friendship extended to him during his stay in Brisbane by the club and its members. Obviously he is welcome to return at any time, and he expects to in the future.
