There was a little pessimism with the forecast but all the Thursday regulars turned up and were soon watching a video on thermal soaring techniques (thanks to Black Mountains GC). This proved to be really worthwhile as several pilots had their first and / or best soaring flights in the afternoon.
There was a pleasant south westerly breeze and initially a 1500 ft cloud-base rising later to over 2000 ft. There were a couple of visitors from Yeovilton who had field landing checks in the Rotax Falke.
Well done to Ruth for completing her Bronze.
Congratulations to Geoff L for his first solo soaring flight in the Junior and also to George who resoloed the K21 after several months, and then converted to the Junior and soared that as well.
