The forecast had been changing from cloud on high ground to possible cloud breaks, but it seems that most members had believed the pessimistic view. In the event, there was mist / low cloud at first, which broke quite nicely before filling in again and we had to wait until about mid-afternoon for the clear blue sky to appear. The winch had a problem with the fan belt and pulleys, which meant we reverted to aerotows for the afternoon. Those that decided to stay were rewarded with a very pleasant end to the day, thanks to the team who spent the time elbow deep in the bowels of the winch.
A new junior member George, had trial flights before deciding to join the Club. We were also pleased to help Abel on his 15th birthday have a trial lesson in the Motor Falke which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Thanks to Carl and the team for finishing the DG annual inspection within a week, back on line with hardly anyone realising it had gone into the workshop.
