Happy New Year to all our readers.
Thursday was a short lull between two storm fronts, and thanks to the well-drained field, we managed to make the most of the day.
The extended holiday allowed a large number of members to join the Thursday faithfuls, the flying lists were long and with aerotow only we nearly managed to get everybody flown. There had been a slight delay for the misting canopies but the freshening south westerly helped with this.The tug was refuelled 3 times and the Eagle was also out flying.

Later in the day, the southerly ridge assisted with extending some flight times with the pre-frontal wave.
We welcomed a couple of visitors, Peter Turner from Mendip GC flew with Lisa in DG505, and Martin Cooper who used to fly with Oxford Gliding Club and has moved to Wellington.

Meanwhile Adrian was busy creating some K13 fittings for the new trailer, and KEK is nearly ready to be rigged, thanks to all who have helped.
