And yet another great day of achievements....
The clear blue sky took quite a while before the Cu started popping, and persistent contrails made us think that it may be difficult conditions. The north easterly wind was much lighter today and course members got on with checkflights and solos straightaway.

Ray B and Paul M converted to the Junior and both soared for over an hour. Jon flew a few more solos in K21, and Mark W resoloed the Junior.

Congratulations to Paul M and Dave Cl for achieving Silver heights in FZF and KHA respectively. ( Ray B missed it by 120 feet).
Thanks to John Si for keeping the Thursday thermallers in the air.

Pete St Discus 230 has moved on from the Club 100 with his second 300kms flight in 7 days, (having been so impressed with Ron's photos of Cornwall form Tuesday he had to see Launceston for himself.)
Mike F Pik 20 DFK attempted Shaftesbury - Halesland but got stuck the wrong side of the Somerset levels. Phil M and Chris W flew the ASH25 after a ceremonial weighing, and completed the Club 100 in 65 minutes, and would have made it under the hour, but they carried on to Winkleigh.
Joe Sc completed his navigation exercise in the Rotax Falke with Mark C for his cross-country endorsement.
Thanks to Adrian P for replacing the Disco Auto spring and brake pipes instead of flying his glider today.
In the evening, there was the Course dinner with club members at the Keepers Cottage.
