Our course, C1(B) rescheduled from early April, got off to a good start on Monday. Five of us had met on the postponed course and Tim Powell joined us from the waiting list. James Smart joined us a little late after an interesting landing the previous day that needed completion. After an initial overview of the course by the two instructors we were split into two groups. James Flory took my group through an Introduction to Gliding and by 11:00am the weather was suitable for flying.

Our group managed four flights each and a common theme from us all was:
- excellent instruction
- paced to test us
- consecutive flights helped us progress quickly
- suberb support from ground crew who were always ready to guide us in assisting to launch and glider retrieval
- great fun, leaving on a high of excitement and enthusiasm.
