After the recent stormy weather, the forecast was going for a pleasant interlude with a 12 hour slot coinciding with Boxing Day. A merry crowd of members gathered to enjoy a glorious sunny day with light westerly winds and mince pies and cream.

The field was still too wet for winch launching, but we managed 14 aerotows, and with some reduced sink on the possibly pre-frontal wave, the longest flight from 2000ft was 28 minutes by Graham H and Paul S. We welcomed Andrew a visitor from Cambridge GC who had escaped from family holiday on the South coast. And even 'bah humbug' turned up to avoid shopping in the Sales and had an extended flight in the K13. All in all, a very enjoyable day, thanks to all for turning out.
