The north easterly blast reduced a little and veered a bit to be less of a cross wind, the sky was completely cloudless all day. Initially only enough people to operate one K21, but slowly more members arrived, the second K21 was in use by mid morning and a Junior after lunch. Through the morning the sky was quite turbulent, but no really workable thermals, but in the afternoon good smooth thermals to 3000'QFE were plentiful provided that the first one was blundered into. Big areas of strong sink particularly low down.
We welcome George back to gliding, fresh from Booker 40 years ago.
It was good to see Reg visiting the Club with the President, Reg was one of the Club stalwarts in its early days, gaining the Club's fourth C Certificate, second Silver C and first Gold height. He was the first owner, in 1965, of the Olympia 463 which is still on site. He subsequently moved to fly with the Dorset Club at Tarrant Rushden in his much admired Dart 17R.
Colyton Scouts had a Trial Lesson evening and continued to enjoy the thermals.
