Saturday 30th April

The Inter-Club League at North Hill was postponed due to the very poor cross-country forecast. It is hoped to reschedule for the reserve weekend.

Cloudbase was at about 600ft in places with a few small gaps, there was a howling easterly blustery wind.

In the morning Martin W explained polar curves and speed-to-fly, in the afternoon he continued with a lecture on cross-country flying and just at the point when he got to field selection, there was an unexpected arrival by 5 parachutists from Dunkeswell - they had got caught out by the low cloud and drifted too far downwind.
The afternoon was also spent clearing the drains before the thunderstorms arrived as forecast.

The DSGC dog Stinky caught a rabbit (last seen being left under Mark C's caravan).
