The gliders were out early with the bright blue sky and westerly wind, but with another 5mm of rain overnight there were some puddles on the field - so aerotowing only again to avoid cutting up the ground.

For a change, the Junior was the first to launch with Adrian and it was almost the longest flight of the day with 67 minutes, but Pete St managed to eclipse that by one minute over lunchtime. The Juniors were in the sky all day taking advantage of the reduced soaring charges. There were two stops for heavy showers during the day, but they rushed through quite quickly and within 30 minutes it was soarable again. A more determined band of rain came through at 15:30, calling an end to proceedings but most had flown at least once by then.
