Our first social ride of the season took place on Sunday 10th March to Lasham Gliding Centre. The weather forecast for the day was not good with high winds and heavy showers, although there were a few short periods of sunshine. In fact, the weather man was sadly right and those of us who did manage to meet up had, to put it mildly, a very exciting ride. Twice I had to divert due to fallen trees. Once at Lasham we had time for lunch and a good chat before we had a guided tour around their vintage glider museum. Our Vice Chairman was until a few years ago a gliding instructor at Lasham and he could well remember flying some of the gliders in the museum.
Nine section members turned up with 5 Douglas bikes and a BMW and I would like to think that despite the weather conditions we all had an enjoyable day.
