Don't know if theclub has already done this but if we give a large photo of the caravan park to the owners as a gesture from the club it might help our cause and gives us a bit of good PR.

I know Mike Brown does this with the home owners at the Marske takeoff. Keeps them on our side.

What do you think?

Lovely photos Colin, I like the way you composed them, “Tip Top”

Great photos Colin. Do you take your big camera up with you to get those? Of course I always try to cut behind the paragliders to avoid them getting my wake turbulence but not always possible. On that note I was quite surprised how much wake a bit of cloth can kick off.

Really good day though, one of the best I've had at the coast.
