Looks like it WILL be mostly sunny, cloud is breaking up now (0730). Will be a bit breezy though. Shouldn't be too bad. I will report again from the field.
The field is ready, just a bit damp. Sunday should be mainly sunny, but cool, 15 degrees or so. The breeze will be moderate and cold. I will report first thing Sunday if blogger doesn't go off the air again.
Blogger has been off line until now, so late posting. We've had a fair bit of rain and wind; going to the field this morning for a working bee, it will probably be very wet underfoot I'm afraid. The forecasts have been changed for Sunday. The forecast wind has dropped significantly. Will report again later.
The bureau is forcasting mostly sunny 17 deg with breezes to 22 kmh. Oh well, last year was PERFECT, but who knows - the forecasts are not correct too often. Stay Tuned!
The Mid May Muster, 15th May, approacheth rapidly and preparations are underway to get the field in even better condition for the big day. Prizes are being organised (see below) and the new shed will be ready to serve up good nosh. It is such a shame that other clubs are competing with us on the day, when we will have a better day of flying to enjoy.

The weather was cool and completely overcast, a bit damp underfoot in places, but a good day.
Shane Bartlett came all the way from Sale to participate, bringing lovely jet models to show and lighting up on two occasions, to the delight of huge audiences who suddenly appeared at the fabulous sound.
