Waiting for trigger temperature (Jill Harmer)
Most of the gliders were gridded at the west end of the airfield, waiting for the trigger temperature to be reached. North Hill felt cold with a chilly north easterly wind and thick patches of cirrus. By 14:30 Ron Johns decided to scrub the tasks and allow local soaring.  Some small cumulus formed mainly downwind, 7 gliders decided to take a launch and completed various small local tasks. - J&P
