Wednesday 8th October

A wet, grey and grim start to the day deterred all bar a few persistent regulars from making the journey to the Club.  The rain eventually relented and between the showers a K21 and all the kit was readied.  A very early lunch was programmed and then the field set up with the first couple of flights being interspersed with heavy showers. The sky then cleared and all those present and wishing to fly enjoyed extended and pleasant flights in a strong and gusty SW wind.  A few more hands would have permitted a second glider and more flying time! Particular thanks are due to Clive W for manning the winch all afternoon. 
A sunny spell
Peter W and Mike F were also seen enjoying a mutual flight and Graham B emerged from the kitchen and enjoyed the longest flight with Peter S.  All was safely put away in the last of the early evening sunshine whilst Malcolm V was carrying out trial exploratory works on field renovation. - PSm
