Monday 7th April - Course week and Portmoak

 Portmoak
"Rain rain go away come back another day, preferably never...."
Sadly the weather forecast for today proved pretty accurate.

the 'model Club fleet' get a suitable early airing,
Light rain from the start of the day and with a generally pessimistic forecast for most of the day, various groups headed off in different directions to 'do other things' . But with some optimism for a potential clearance late in the day - with the SGC planning some evening flying there was some hope that a Marvellous Monday might follow a Super Sunday, but it was not to be...

With uncertainty as to whether the weather would clear SGC cancelled their planned evening and although the weather did eventually clear it was decided to abandon any other plans for flying with thoughts instead as to what could be a Terrific Tuesday if the weather forecast can be believed...
Time will tell... - Mike Sl

Low cloud / fog and rain meant no flying today, giving the first Course of the season plenty of time for ground school. Lectures included SeeYou tutorial, tasks and turnpoints, circuit planning and a practical exercise of derigging and rigging a Junior, Meanwhile JB, Gordon and Aston repaired the Junior trailer. Rick spent the afternoon successfully passing the Bronze exam.
