Sorry for those who are'nt aware the message below is referring to The Borders round of the nationals which is this weekend.

message from Logan, if you want the pdf email me, I cant attach it to this message board.

Hi All,

Tommy asked me to provide directions for those who require them. There is a better copy as a pdf attachment for printing.

Just a reminder -

Make sure you have sufficient Fuel, Food, alcohol and Water for the weekend. There is water available from the river but the taste can be variable. It would be better to bring your own. A folding chair is good for sitting round the campfire after the Barbecue (bring your own food).

meet at the Boston Hall around 10:30 latest so we can get everyone to the chosen site and up the hill.

Weather closing in later tomorrow afternoon so the 4WD will go up the hill at 9.00am as well as 11.00am.

The bowl might be ok this afternoon. I'm planning to take the 4WD up at 1.00pm if anyone is interested.

This weekends round of the Scottish Nationals is cancelled, to be re scheduled whenever the weather improves.

Me and Craig going to look at Myreton at 3pm - could take the bus up if it looks OK.

AHPC round of the nationals this weekend, 26th & 27th.

The Aberdeen round will be based at Deeside Gliding Club in Aboyne - about an hour west of Aberdeen and under three hours from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Much less if you have a hire car :-) Check on google maps for AB34 5LB. (57.07227, -2.83965 for GPS users) Camping, nice food and cheap beer are all available.

Here's a link to Terrys latest video, if you were flying at Bishops on Sunday you might spot yourself.

This weekend July 12th and 13th is the borders round of the BP Cup,based at the Tinto Hotel in Symington. We will have in excess of 100 pilots so its likely to be rather busy.

Site choice will be on the morning of each day at the 9.30 breifing. Free flyers are of course welcome.

4wd battery was flat but now charged but Ive left the earth lead off coz there's a power leak somewhere (will trace asap). The lead will need to be connected if anyone is planning to use the landrover (10mm spanner ... no harsh language required).

Scottish Nationals.

The Borders round is going to be re-scheduled for later in the year, due to the current forecast for this weekend.

PLEASE NOTE: This month's committee meeting has been postponed from Tuesday 1st July to Tuesday 8th July. Usual place usual time - Hollytree at 7.30pm.

A few gliders are heading along to Bank Hill Dollar at around 10.30. Its a long shot but it may be flyable late morning to early afternoon.

Looks like tomorrow might be flyable.

How to use 3Jam to text Ochils PGC group.

To start a group text send a text to the 3Jam phone number +447797806160. The text should start with the 2 words and the dot as follows: Text Ochilspc . followed by the text you want everyone to see such as I am flying on Myreton. Conditions are perfect.

To reply you select reply as you would with any text and enter the words you want everyone to see such as I'm at Dollar and conditions are good here as well.

That's all you need to know for basic use.

I'm off to do an SIV course in Annecy so unfortunately you wont get a response from the comms email until the Tuesday 24th.

BBQ and Fying June 28-29th in Blairgowrie. This is open to club and non-club members, tickets are £7 per person and include BBQ,Breakfast and accomodation in the house, camping in the garden and roll mats in lounge and dining room. The plan is to have BBQ on Saturday at 7pm and to fly on the Sunday at sites near to us.

If you would like to come could you confirm by phoning Peter or Sarah on 01250 870102, payment can be made on the evening.

4WD will be in Menstrie from tonight. Usual 11am taxi up to the bowl if the weather is ok.

Good chance there will be a lift up the hill at 6pm tonight.

This is the new chat system. Primitive but should do the job.

Why weren't you all at Buckies on Saturday?
