After two non flying days, Mark Courtney had drunk the coffee shops in Church Stretton and the surrounding area clean out of coffee. Thankfully today the weather was much more cooperative.

Everyone that wanted to fly flew ... just! Matthew W and Paul L were both cleared to fly their SF27, Matthew enjoyed over two hours soaring and Paul little had an extended circuit. David C and Chris C both made good progress towards being cleared for Pilatus B4 and the club single seaters, respectively. Andrew L, Paul S, Adrian P, and Steve W all enjoyed good flights in their own gliders. Mark C also snuck a flight in Steve's Discus in between duties.

Thanks to Simon Adlard who winched from 9 till 5! Not forgetting (of course!). Mark C and Steve W who spent a large proportion of their day instructing. A rather splendid meal was enjoyed in the club house at the end of the day with more model flying rounding proceedings off. If our prayers are answered, and the weather gods comply, we're about to have an amazing week. If not, we'll just take instruction from Mark in advanced coffee drinking.
