Saturday, 12 August 2023
August Antics Come Summertime, or what passes for it, our stalwart committee members task the inestimable Mr Jervis with holding the annual scale competition at whichever slope happens to suit the prevailing breeze, wind or howling gale.

The Gate (17th May 2023)
Wednesday, 17 May 2023
A big thank you to Mark Ollier for giving us permission to use his expertly taken photographs of flying at the Gate in May 2023. Unusually for this time of year the wind has turned North Westerly which means it was cold, as you can see from the picture of Ivan who was well wrapped

Because of the advancement of technology, our existing website template has become so out of date, that our existing website Content Management system (Joomla) cannot cope with it.
