Thursday 12th May - Course week

We set up for a north westerly wind but it was grey and drizzly to start with, restricting us to circuits, although the ridge was working to a fashion. The sky got darker towards lunchtime but Pete St Discus 230 & Matt ASW20 M5 sat on the ridge at low level hoping for a clearance. As if by magic, the sun came out and there were white puffy cumulus at 3000ft QFE and it made for a glorious afternoon. Soaring continued til 1800. There were 26 flights with 7.16 hrs soaring. The course took an early bath, dressed respectably and went to The Keepers for the course dinner.
Congratulations to Nigel E who completed his Bronze Badge and to Rowan for conversion and his first flight in his new Libelle (CLM).
