PSSing About!

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
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

You can say what you like about Ant Jervis – and very few people do – but you just have to admit that when it comes to organising competitions, he absolutely blows your socks off. You can also say what you like about LMMGA, but when it comes to a healthy dose of verbal abuse,

Leek and Moorland in RCM&E Scale Comp Leek
Sunday, 21 January 2018
It seems like a long time since the Scale Competition in August 2017 but Simon Cocker’s list of articles for the RCM&E magazine is so long that we have had to wait 5 months to see the write up. In the February 2018 edition on page 88 you can read a full write up with

Scale Fly-In 2015
Saturday, 31 October 2015
This year’s weather wasn’t quite as kind as last year’s. Saturday started off with a cold North West wind; ideal direction for the gate. The problem for these large scale planes flying at the gate is landing particularly with most of the pilots not familiar with the site. The other problem is the restricted parking

Scale Day 2013
Friday, 07 August 2015
I can only imagine that once again our Scale Day over the weekend of August 17th and 18th was a great success. I cannot bear witness to its triumph because I was away in Anglesey at the time (I did want to attend but it would not have scored me many brownie points). It is,
