Saturday 21st April

Bright start and strong north-westerly wind soon clouded up with blustery hail showers. After lunch, the sky stabilised into strong streets up to 3500ft cloudbase. The wind strengthened and there was increased turbulence and sink in the circuit. Despite this, there were 8 private gliders and most of the club fleet enjoying the strong conditions. Pete St 230 Discus just beat Stu KMV LS3 for the longest flight 2hrs 7mins visiting MUD and not quite DUL. Welcome to new members Chris (ex-Met.Office) and Fred (our new oldest member). Congratulations to James for his first BI trial lesson.
