It seems that Wednesday
was the best weather of the week again after many days of gales and non-
stop rain, with the hangar unpacked before breakfast, all the club fleet were out ready to take advantage of the
brisk Westerly.

At first
the ridge didn't seem to work but the thermals gave plenty of
opportunities to stay up and at times there were no aircraft on the
ground.
Guy Adams and John
Sillett at last got the Course members airborne and Pete Warren, Peter
Field and John Street instructed the club members who needed somebody in
the back seat.

Tim
Johns 877, Pete Startup 230 and Nigel Everett FAJ flew their own gliders (Tim just missing
his five hour duration flight because of approaching rain). Pete struggled for an out and return to Eaglescott, almost dropping in for tea and cakes at MUD!
The rain and high winds returned at about 4pm and all the toys were returned to the hanger. - John Street
