After walking up to the far end of the airfield, grey cloud was already covering the sky. Launch by launch, clouds formed at circuit height. Sadly today was a day where no thermals were present. However, a few people found wave near Dunkeswell.

There was a threat before lunch as to whether we could carry on because of the increasing amount of low clouds, but, by the end of lunch there was blue sky! This didn't last too long though and it was back to grey sky without low clouds.

Very few people were on the two-seater list but quite a few on the single-seater list.
Richard Lean, who was training on aerotows received a normal tow and a practice failure, Rob Rand received 3 flights one being a launch failure. Josh Howlett received an immediate power failure, which was fun to request to the winch. Jack, was trying to perfect his takeoff, landings and circuit followed by launch control training.
Those flying: David Sewell, Dave Perriam, Jack Sewell, Ashley Thomas, Aston Key, Robert Rand, John Allen, Julian West, Paul Summers, John Borland, Chris Mews, Peter Stapleton, George Vojtisek, Richard Lean, Geoff Lawrence, Callum Ellis, Robert Lee, Josh Hewlett, Chris Wool, Mike Sloggett
