Club Maintenance Weekend

Wolds Gliding Club is run by volunteers - which means everyone mucks in with jobs around the airfield. This last weekend we suspended flying and spent the whole weekend doing all those jobs that have mounted up over the last year (or ten) - including:

  • Filled potholes and smoothed parts of the runway

  • Cleared the glider hangar (and hoovered it!!!)

  • Cleared out the sliding door tracks

  • Cleared the tug hangar

  • Regravelled the road into the club caravan site

  • Regravelled the peri-track where it flooded

  • Emptied the loft

  • Cleaned the control bus

  • Reorganised the ballast weights and various other equipment on the control bus

  • Washed and polished the 2 seat gliders (4 of them)

  • Washed and serviced the trailers (4 of them)

  • Done an ARC on one K21

  • Done several other jobs on the same K21

  • Cleared out a load of old computer equipment

  • Litter picked around the site perimeter

  • Cleaned the winch

  • Removed a load of ivy from some walls

  • Cleared a load of brashwood from around the campsite

  • Cleared the main entrance way which has got a bit muddy

As you can see, this is the first time many of our members have ever seen a vacuum cleaner :-)

Open Day 2023

We had our first open day since COVID on Saturday 24th June. It was a huge success - with over 120 flights in a single day (even Manchester Airport only manages 587 flights per day!) It was a huge team effort with help from over 70 members and their family.

Looking forward to next year…
