Fri 10th January

The weather over the last few months have not been good  for gliding, so today’s positive weather forecast meant that for the second week in a row, members decided to take advantage of the blue skies and sunshine to get into the air on a Friday.

From the start of the day to the end, the good weather allowed members to regain or retain currency.
Congratulations to Stirling (Malcolm Vest)
The Instructors  Peter Smith, Mike Sloggett, Ron Johns and Phil Morrison were kept busy all day in the K21s completing pre-solo training and currency checks whilst both Juniors were in steady demand - with congratulations to  Stirling Melhuish  for completing a successful conversion to the Junior.
Robert Lee completed some aerotows in the Pawnee (Robert Lee)
Gordon Hutchinson brought his new glider DG202 (JDP) out for the first time taking a couple of high aerotows to get familiar with it.

The two Falkes were in use most of the day.
Another great ad-hoc day (Mike Sloggett)
And late afternoon with the sun setting and the temperature dropping steadily with everyone having flown the gliders were washed and put away.

As ever continuing teamwork during the day by all to help get others into the air  36 winch launches and 4 aerrotows - Thank you to all involved today - another good call  for an ad-hoc day on North Hill GG - Mike Sloggett
