The cloud was on the hill when the first members turned up this morning, but it soon cleared into a pleasant warm, sunny October day. After the recent poor visibility / rainy days the two-seater list was huge and despite having four two-seaters, we still didn't complete the training list until 1830. - Thanks to all the Instructors who shared the load - 76 launches in total.
There were lots of circuits and very little soaring, some Trial lessons and 6 private owners (- yes there were some left in Devon!) joined in.
Congratulations to Matthew W and Martin B for soloing at North Hill after their respective solos on courses at Lasham and Bicester.

One of our visitors has sent this message of thanks:
A big thank you to Mike F who marked the day with his last Instructing flights before changing to a Ground Instructor.
'I'm
writing to thank you for your smiling reception when I came to DSGC for
my birthday flight. The flight was brilliant, and I was
overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and kindness and patience
of everyone. You have a great team.'
