Wednesday 17th August

A southeasterly wind saw the gliders walked to the northwest corner, the forecast was not promising with a hot start and a weather front arriving in the afternoon.
A hot start and blue sky (John Street)
There was no soaring to be had except for a hint of wave on the early flights and a few thermals but nothing to soar in. Tim Petty continued his solo flying before the conditions became a bit tricky.
Mike Fitz brought some family members up for a return flight on their 3 month membership, Roly flew the three Trial lesson flights that included a mile high flight.
The high cloud was evident from lunchtime (John Street)
Pete Warren was the tuggie for the day and managed a bit of instructing as well to help out the two Johns with the instructing.
The evening group flying was cancelled due to the forecast, just as well,  as the rain started as we were putting the toys away! - John Street
