http://sheningtonflyingreports.blogspot.com/2015/07/thursday-9th-july.html
Tuesday, 14 July 2015. There was a great forecast for Thursday and two club members decided to try something big. Graham Paul and Al Cook declared a 750km flight and set Edgehill, Newmarket, Carlton (North York Moors! Ely and home - quite ambitious but not as stretching as the original plan to fly back from Aboyne! So Bob and the albatross ended up near Ely. Odd that both tasks came unstuck around Ely but probably says more about the weather than anything else. Anyone else do anything interesting? June 2...

Shenington Flying Reports: July 2015
http://sheningtonflyingreports.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 21 July 2015. What a great day! John W went off at 11am and flew 300km with a task from Edgehill to Upwood GC, then Didcot, Silverstone and home, bringing it back early enough for me to have a flight with a wander over to the West where the clouds were disappearing. It was a beautiful day to be in the air - vis was good, and the fields are getting better too! Steve Codd popped in with a 'landout' from the club class nationals, in which he is competing in a twin Acro. Now that takes cojones!

Shenington Flying Reports: January 2015
http://sheningtonflyingreports.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 January 2015. Wow, another sunny Saturday and the third soaring weekend in a row at Shenington in January. Is this a record? Saturday dawned very cold. Didn't appear very windy but when we arrived at the club there was a decent northwesterly at height and a K13 half way down the ridge - Paul F taking a visitor Jonny for a trip! It's very convenient flying from the clubhouse field (apart from the issue of where to park the cars! Here's hoping that the good run of weekends continues. Later we go...
