Windsock Autumn 2009

Windsock Magazine for Autumn 2009 is now on-line. Go to the 'windsock' menu item within the Members' area.

Also note that Windsock magazines from December 1986 onwards are now more or less complete. Thanks to Dave Williamson, Steve Uzochukwu and Dave Newns for lending them to me. The whole of 2002 is still missing, though.

Please, if anyone has the missing magazines, please get in touch, and we can have them up too. I know some of you have them in your attics - so climb up there and get them!

Important - Dyke Landing Field - Please Read

If you bottom land at the Dyke, please ensure that you close and bolt the gate when leaving

If the gate is left open for any length of time then the sheep present are able to escape - as happened today (Friday).

Our continued use of this field and therefore the Dyke as a site depends on us adhering to this simple request.

Thanks in advance for your co-operation and understanding.
