Apologies for the gap in news - the internet has been a little erratic and we have been preparing for the arrival of the "bosses". The hot and thundery weather has broken to be replaced by 100% cloud cover that looks likely to be cool and rainy for the day. The organisers have consulted many forecasts and have found one that suggests there may be a break in the cloud - one glance at a visible satellite would suggest the optimistic forecaster has not looked out the window.

Siobhan and Liam arrived on friday evening having been delayed by some baggae handling paranoia at luton airport - the caravan and awning have been suitably organised, Liam is disorganising with a vengance.

We trooped off to the opening ceremony in Szeged town centre - marched with the flag and stood in a steady pitter patter of heavy droplets while a host of dignatories regaled us with humourous anecdotes ( not ). The highlight was someone with a very light very slow flying aerobatic model that he flew above the parade - he was extremely skillful. There was a flypast by 2 SAAB drakens/viggens/waggens, not sure which because they were so high that they got confused with a flock of passing crows - I don't think the neighbouring countries need to be worried about low level aerial attack.

Ania, Hannah and Greg arrived late last night to complete the "bosses" and "Crew" list - unfortunately it coincided with the first powercut at our end of the campsite - it didn't reall matter as it came on an hour or so later.

Looks like we will be rigging and dabbing dry the gliders for the rest of the day.
