Happy New Year to all our readers. The snow has gone, the field has dried and 16 members enjoyed 46 winch launches on New Years Day.
It was a very still hazy day with a slight north-westerly drift.
Dylan and Wyn consolidated their solo flying whilst Rhodri (not to be outdone and following his successful driving test just before Christmas) had an 'learning experience' with CFI Pete. The K21 in a simulated launch failure used every inch (plus a bit) of the airfield.
Mark and Simon spent most of the day refreshing each other in the K13 in readiness for running the Full cat prep course planned for the end of January.
Eric was cleared for winch driving. KEK was rigged and weighed- thanks to all the helpers.

The day ended with mature, hot mince pies with thanks to Graham and Cheryl.
