Wednesday 30th May - Task week

Most of the usual Wednesday regulars turned up to be greeted by a field full of rigged gliders ready for day three of Ron's task week, the forecast was not good and at the briefing it was decided to fallback to the Club 100km triangle if anyone wanted to attempt cross-country. However, the morning was spent with useful analysis, 'howidunnits' and maggot racing and also included the first public viewing of the thermal etiquette tuition video (see link yesterday)
 Tuesday's task
There was plenty of flying for the Wednesday club with some useful training, Richard managed one of his first solo soaring flights.
The weather was not as bad as forecast and during  the afternoon some local soaring was achieved around our nearby turnpoints.

At last the weather has cooperated, with all the right people present  - (the first time since his 16th birthday), for Max to go solo - many congratulations. (Max has been flying with DSGC for 3 years and has been actively managing his diabetes.)

It was nice to see Don again visiting us looking a lot better. - JSt
