Watch this space to keep up to date with the progress of the construction of the new club house.

Following a ballot in favour of building a new club house last Saturday, we are in the process of confirming quotes with major suppliers and contractors. The next step is to pay deposts to access engineering drawings and prepare a DA for Singleton Council.

The committee has been working away on the plans for the new clubhouse for some time. Mostly it has been a problem finding something which we can afford which is better than the old clubhouse. This weekend, at the special general meeting, the club members voted on the proposal and accepted it.
Next we have to decide where to put it. Here is the current best proposal.

The ablutions and accomodation will be to the right of this, along the back of the current car park. This will mean that we will be able to park in front of the rooms like a motel.

Who would have thought that you could soar 380km on a day like this?

This photo is from late on Sunday, when the whole sky had been completely overcast by cirrus clouds all day and the cumulus clouds had almost completely disappeared. We were stuck on the other side of Muswellbrook and had to take a 1 knot thermal to get up to final-glide height. Little did we know that there were still 6-knot thermals going to 7000ft!

Earlier in the day, this was the view crossing the Liverpool Range north of Scone: under 4000ft, overcast with cirrus and raining. But we snuck over the range and flew up to Breeza before returning.
