wendy windblows is closing as of august 2018, i have had, reluctantly, to wind up the company, and close the system down. she has been losing money for some time, due to a steady reduction in numbers of pilots - many of whom have been with her for 20 years or more, (and like me, perhaps, illness and infirmity have put them past flying age now...) lynn and i have been subsidising her out of our own money for the last year or so, hoping that my health would improve so that i could get her all repaired up and fully operational again, but the numbers have reduced to the point where we cannot afford the huge investment needed to get everything back up. nor can we afford to keep up the subsidy to keep her running (see below) age, infirmity, and injuries - repairs are hard work! i will be 70 in january, and it is getting pretty hard to tolerate the long drives up and down the country to service wendy (often doing 500+ miles a day), never mind climbing masts and stuff when i get there, clinging on in gales and whatever to try and repair electronic stuff on freezing hilltops. four years ago exactly i had a ladder skate away from me on the day job, and dumped me 12 feet or more on my side onto concrete, and i sustained severe injuries, including my right arm broken in 4 places, a broken right hip, dislocated other hip, broken ribs, pelvic damage, and lots of incidental stuff. i had repeated surgery over 2-3 years to repair all this dented bodywork, and maintained hopes that i was gonna get back to my normal self and repair wendy up to her fully-functioning status. however it was not to be, and some of the treatment the nhs put me through (thanks, chaps!) has resulted in unstable heartbeat and cardiomyopathy, (which means heart failure in english) . it is with difficulty i can even walk 50 yards now, never mind about climb masts and slog up hillsides. and i am told recently that this is not going to improve. during this period of my infirmity, the state of the wendy stations declined, naturally, and many people, understandably, quit what was not, for them, a fully-functioning service. (and, by the way, lynn and i truly appreciate how many people stuck with their subscriptions through thick and thin, hoping that i would nurse wendy back to health as soon as i got there myself. and spoke encouragingly to us on the phone and email. thank you all. it was your kindness and support that kept me going for the last 4 years). 30 years isn't a bad innings... therefore, after 30 years (she started at bradwell in 1987 or thereabouts) with a heavy heart, i have had to decide to call it a day. wendy does not have any money in the kitty, (just about enough to close down the phone lines and pay the outstanding line rentals and website fees) and i cannot continue to subsidise her against the day when everything might come right. those of you who are self employed will realise that a period of illness and immobility following a major accident that had me in the intensive scare unit for quite a while did not do wonders for our personal finances either...it has been a long fight back to something like normality. and, i am tired. 30 years is a pretty long sentence - you don't get anything like that for murder these days - i reckon i am due parole by now! privatisation - loss of sites several wendys, like blorenge, combe hill, parlick, mercury, firle etc were on police radio masts round the country. they used to let us on there for a very nominal payment to cover the electricity used. however, in the last year or more nearly all of these have been privatised, and the new private owners consider that the rental should be something a lot more than we were paying... which is totally unaffordable from wendy's standpoint. there are not enough of us, paying enough, to even begin to pay those sort of fees (over £1000 a site p.a was asked at some) so we had to let those go. brief history of wendy windblows wendy, believe it or not, started in 1987, (well before t'internet came along!) with the 1st station at bradwell, in the peaks. i worked out that i could create a talking telephone weather station that you could ring up, and it would read out the winds etc to you. it would cost about £2000 to build, and i didn't have £2000 spare, (and the club would not pay for it, although it had £10k in the bank at the time). (possibly because all the committee lived in the hope valley area, and didn't see the need!) so i blagged cheques for £20 off every club member i could corner and threaten or wheedle on the hill, (it wasn't easy - lots of 'em were yorkshiremen, who are renowned for being like scotsmen with all the generosity squeezed out!) and when i had 100 of them, i cashed the cheques and built it. wendy windblows (called that cos you phone her up "when de wind blows" ) was so successful over the next year or two that i had requests for a lot more of them at other sites. the voice for wendy was provided by the lovely sarah, who ran a recording studio in sheffield, and patiently recorded loads of words and phrases, such as "the wind is varying between" and "miles per hour" and "average direction is" that the computer could stitch together (along with the spoken numbers) to make up the readout. this worked brilliantly in the end, although it took weeks of mucking about programming to get it to sound natural! in 1994, we changed wendy to a regular subscription annually of £20, and set about building a whole network of them around the uk at flying (and later, windsurfing) sites. most sites did not have a mobile phone signal back then, so we had to use radio-telemetry to get the data down to the nearest village, and place the computer and phone line there. the subs went up to£24 a year in 1999, but we instituted the "loyalty" system in that year..., wendys unique loyalty system unlike today, where every firm seems to offer you dirt cheap rates to attract you, then tries to shaft you in year 2 and later when you are paying by dd, in the hopes that you won't notice the extra cost; at wendy, we decided to reward loyalty. we said that, as long as you stayed a member, your subs never went up! yep, as long as your ongoing subs were paid each year, you paid only what you paid at the start, when you joined. if we put prices up for new members (as we had to from time to time to pay the bills) the price rise did not affect you. if you quit, and came back maybe a year later, you paid whatever the rate was at the time - say £46 a year, rather than the £24 you had been paying. this gave people a strong incentive to stay - even if you were going off to oz for a season, it paid you to stay a member of wendy, rather than cancel and rejoin at maybe double the rate next spring. it was this idea that, i think resulted in her long life as a service, of over 30 years. many people have been members that long - and a lot more than 20 years. along, of course, with how useful she was to so many pilots.... i have just realised - i was 38 when i built the first one! bloody hell, no wonder i feel old! nowadays, with t'internet and all, and facebook groups and so on, it is much easier to find out what's going on at sites, etc, so she is pretty well out of date. so the end had to come anyway, i guess. can't anyone else take it over? wendy requires a very unusual combination of abilities, which i happen to have. (one reason probably no one else tried to do anything similar with any degree of success. or possibly my stupid stubbornness and masochism had something to do with it. lynn suspects the latter). firstly, you have to be good at ladderwork - the wind sensors need to be at least 25-30 feet off the ground, and the higher the better. some were 60 feet up - and one site - firle, they used to be on top of the big towers on beddingham hill - 150 feet high! that took a bit of climbing! (in a stiff breeze, the top of those things sways back and forth about two feet! most disconcerting, i assure you.) you have to be comfortable cli
