Wednesday 14th April

A cold N/E wind and overcast sky kept all but the hardy away, the rest of the Wednesday crowd are at Portmoak sunning themselves, even so we had a very useful day.
We welcomed Joe back from NZ and he managed a soaring flight it was only 7500ft less than he managed down under but he didn't have his camera on him this time to record it!
Also we had three new members flying today Jeff, Chris and a member from Eaglescott.
The swallows that were around last Thursday have vanished we all looked out for them, a prize was even offered for the first sighting but to no avail.
Late in the afternoon the thermals arrived and all the flights after 4pm were soaring flights, Tim had the longest flight of 64min. - JSt
