Another bright fresh morning but today was a north easterly wind a little stronger than forecast. Nearly all the course members needed some launch failure practice and we got this out of the way first thing. From then on course flights were all soaring flights.
Congratulations to Paul M on his first solo flight including soaring for half an hour.

Mark W and Ray B both resoloed after the winter weather. Jon (an early solo pilot from Kestrel club) flew his first solo at North Hill.
Paul C flew his Ventus locally for a 2.5 hours.
Joe S in ASW19 877 achieved his 2 hour soaring flight towards his cross-country endorsement, and Ron with John P in ASH25 711 went to deepest Cornwall, and nearly got stuck behind Dartmoor having turned Launceston and Truro, but made it back rounding Chard for 310kms.
