A crisp start with quite a few people seeking training was followed by a
sudden visitation by orographic cloud dramatically moving up through
the trees from the valley. An aerotow was abandoned and tea was taken in
the clubhouse.

After that the brilliant sunshine and blue sky continued
to tease members with the promise of something to fly in. Conditions
were good for training, but with no thermal activity, it was circuits or
nothing. Several people took aerotows in almost unnnaturally calm
skies, but nothing defied gravity and it was a matter of returning to
earth slowly but surely.
Congratulation to returning member Adrian for re-soloing after a long break from gliding. - Jonathan
