Thursday 29th November

A beautiful day but a slow start due to ice forming on the wings at the launch point. Conditions were quite strange, with  only a light northerly crosswind on the ground but above 200ft an increasing tailwind. This caused a few interesting circuits for the early solo pilots check flights. Tuggie Mark insisted that there would be wave at the Wellington monument and persuaded Ray to take a 3000ft tow, followed by Roly and Heather and Nigel, but to no avail the air was as flat as a pancake / still as a millpond.

 There was an early finish when the ice returned on the wings and the canopies misted.
Pete St returned form the Soaring section visit to Parham with a lot of mud to pressure wash. The Southdowns did not perform well yesterday and Pete went 'back to school', landing in a very posh, large, muddy playing field.
