Although the forecast for today was reasonably optimistic it was no surprise that with a number of members having been away on one of the Club expeditions the flying list for today was relatively short. Taking into account a light Southerly wind and the forecast wind the launchpoint was set up in the North East corner of the field. And with flying under way soon after 10:00 the day became one of success.

After lunch flying started again but with only a few more flights completed it became necessary to change sides due to the wind moving to a North Westerly and by the time everything had been moved around the cloudbase had lowered to the point that flying stopped for the day.
And an hour or so after all the gliders and ground equipment had been put away as often happens at North Hill the skies became brighter and brighter.... However despite the earlier than planned end to the day all agreed that it had been a very successful one. - Mike Sloggett
