A forecast of a potentially fine day with minimal likelihood of rain
unsurprisingly saw a lot of Club Members turn up 'raring to go'.
All
of the Club fleet was in continuous use from early on, with the winch
and tug launching their first flights by soon after 9:30. Luckily there were plenty of Instructors for the busy
launch queues throughout the day getting all Club Members and
Trial Lesson visitors 'in the air'. There were also 8 private gliders out today with Stu in KMV LS3 taking the prize with 49 minutes. There was also some competition for tugging in the Pawnee on such a nice day.

As well as the usual Club
Members, we had a number of Exeter University visitors experiencing
gliding for the first time and also welcomed some Dartmoor Gliding
Society members completing some aerotow training with their CFI Don.
All in all a good day's flying with great teamwork getting everyone in the air. - MSl
