Wave
Mike Maddocks and Joseph climbed to 10000ft in the wave on Wednesday in GUE. Transponder error prevented them from climbing higher. Rob Houghton and John Feeney contacted the wave today. Contact was made just below 3000ft directly above the clubhouse.

Unfortunately there was no flying on Friday due to the wet strip. Saturday was the day of the 30th Anniversary bash and the weather was a treat. Good Q to 7000ft and the last glider came home at 1730 after a three hour flight... yes it was John Feeney who called to ask when last light was from 5000 ft above Mt Maroon at a bit before 1700. Georgo was out hunting in the Shark and his competition finish and water dump certainly impressed the gathered crowd. Sunday saw heavy overcast which never really cleared but although not a cross country day some pilots reported reaching 7000ft again.

Sat/Sun 12/13 July 08
Sunday was the pick of the days. What started as a cool overcast morning evolved into a 3 to 5 knot average between 1330 and 1600. All the single seaters were out and sat at cloudbase at about 4500 ft out towards the range. The clouds cycled relatively quickly until about 1400 when they streeted up and took good form. The K13 was returned to service with a few new licks of paint and ready to be herded round the Boonah skies by students and instructors for another year. GWH returned on Saturday from the AAF Cadet Camp in Warwick.
It's Winter.
It is officially winter! The westerlies hit this morning running 15 kts+ well into the day. It was pretty cold getting down to 2 degrees at 0630. No sign of wave today but one would think that it's not far off.
