Thursday 16th May

A cold bright morning welcomed many members, with a lot of check flights to do and some new members, the two-seaters were very busy all day, and the Juniors were soaring. The sea air moved in quite early with a strengthening southerly breeze, but it remained soarable with new small clouds forming.

Pete St Discus 230 tried to go round the club 100 but beyond Ilminster the sky was messed up by sea air so didn’t fancy the jump to Yeovil, or indeed the run back!

Matt collected his new toy ASW24 from the Midlands and took it for a 'shake down' flight.

The first of our cross-country flying weeks has been disappointing to say the least with Monday, Tuesday and Friday all scrubbed. Everyone is looking forward to better weather for the Task week next week. Good luck to our Inter-Club League team who will be flying at The Park this weekend.
