PSSing About!

Friday, 03 November 2023 by Peter Garsden
There are times when the stars align, someone bends a knee and chants Wiccan oaths, because Samhain is drawing near.  Was it Ant Jervis, or were others arrayed in the Pagan circle?  Whatever the reason, the last Sunday in October dawned clearer than expected, the forecasted harsh wind had calmed and the sun shone.  The

2023 Scale Day Flying Competition at the Gate by Dave Goodenough

Saturday, 12 August 2023 by Peter Garsden
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.  This year we had a washout Saturday, wisely cancelled early, with the Sunday left as default for those

The New LMMGA Shop is “open all hours”

Friday, 11 August 2023 by Peter Garsden
I forget whose catch phrase was “we never shut”, but such is the wonder of technology that our new online shop never shuts. In the past we have offered various items of merchandise for sale at the AGM, which has proved quite popular, but now we decided to move into the 21st century and offer

A Visit to the Orme by Mark Ollier

Monday, 10 July 2023 by Peter Garsden
Mark reports that he was visiting, in his retirement years, Llandudno for a family holiday with his wife and mother-in-law, who (I am taking Mark’s word for the fact that he has the permission to publicise her age) is soon to be 90 years young. In the tradition of obedient husbands, as we all are

PSSA Orme Weekend (July 2023)

Saturday, 08 July 2023 by Peter Garsden
It has been some time since I did a PSSA write up due, largely, in part to laziness, but also the fact that Phil Cooke does a very comprehensive write up for the PSSA site. So how can I better it, particularly when my knowledge of the anorak subject of scale models is somewhat lacking

Weston Park goes West?

Wednesday, 21 June 2023 by Peter Garsden
I don’t want the title of this blog to confuse you because I had an absolutely splendid day there over the weekend of 17th and !8th June, even though I only visited on the Saturday. As usual, the day was full of model and full size exhibtions of skill and aerobatic genius. My beef was

The Gate (17th May 2023)

Wednesday, 17 May 2023 by Peter Garsden
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

New Site New Logo

Sunday, 09 April 2023 by Peter Garsden
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. So we are launching a brand new website with a refreshed logo (see image) designed by our talented graphic artist member Bob Jennings of Bob Jennings Creative.
