Another rewarding day, started flying at 9.05am to a rather overcast sky but it was good conditions for launch failure practice, Nigel, Mark and Ian all went solo and had soaring flights, on his second flight Mark had a flight of 71min. for his first bronze leg. Nigel had bronze flight checks with Mike Fitz.
We had 7.41 hrs soaring and 29 flights.
The course and normal wednesday club flying integrated well with no problems. All the club gliders were in use all day, pity FZF was u/s as that would have been airborne all day too. Pete W. was kept busy in the tug. Private gliders out were Pete & Jill Duo Discus OL, Robert Astir, William K6 DQS, Pete St Discus 230, Jeff Mosquito 380, Trevor DG100 DG1 and Andrew L K6 DRE. All is at peace again in the 230 household, Pete flew his first cross country of the year - a little jaunt out west, while OL's attempt to go east was thwarted by some very low cloudbases, they then flew along some sort of convergence towards the north coast. - JSt
