New arrival at the club in the form of this lovely DG1000T recently acquired by Tom, Bob and Russ. Quite a different machine to the DG500s we already have at YGC. I'm sure this will attract a lot of interest and give the new owners many hours of pleasure!

Following last week's excitement it was nice to get back to some club flying and what a fantastic weekend! Yesterday was good but today was better. A lovely late summer's day, light winds and strong thermals - the perfect recipe. Several members flew cross country with tasks stretching from Gainsborough to Beverley to Tontine. Nice to see that some of the spirit of Competition Enterprise has rubbed off!!
