At the moment I'm looking at the lakes for Friday. Saturday looking too light, might be PPG for Gary et al, Sunday looking coastal.

Hi Chris,
I've been using a Baeofung radio for the last two seasons and found it very reliable simple to use and very clear. They're cheap £25 to £30, lots available.

Wow! Brilliant news. A big thankyou to Christine.

Is it worth thinking through some self imposed site rules, similar to the ones I mentioned before so that we can keep everybody happy? A bit of debate for the site guide on the private section might be worthwhile.

For tonight:-

Kobo- all set up and ready to go

Laser helmet- hardly used. Silver

Blazewear heated gloves- lithium batteries!

Supair flying suit- lots of life left in it

Let's get some real money for these items! Would be great to see the money go towards more safety enhancements for the club.

I have an Icaro Nerv helmet with visor. For me it's very comfortable and light. To my mind visors are the way forward, allowing you to flip it up if it's not so bright but generally giving better wind protection than just a pair of sunnies.
