A reasonable forecast for today, plus an indifferent one for Thursday saw a huge number on the flying list at 9.00am.
After
an inspection of the field, we set up the field for Northwesterly circuits mainly
to give the Southwesterly run a bit of a rest - but after a while the wind backed
so we had to change sides.
There
was a light wind and no lift about except for a hour or so at lunchtime which Vince and Dave T made the most of - well done to both after
re-soloing - Vince had the longest flight of the day with 25min closely
followed by Dave.
We welcomed 2 new Junior members to the Club, Luke is a solo pilot from Keevil and having moved to Sidmouth a few months ago, just needs to learn about the vagaries of a hill-top site, and Joe who will start learning a new sport.

Checking out of the Motor Falke pilots continues with William the latest to fly P1 again.
Due to
(Treasurer) Texas Tom's exceptional generosity we had some quarry scalpings delivered,
so a team filled some of the worst holes, so many people wanted to help
with the hole filling I had to request for them to return to the launch
point so we could continue flying! - we managed 50 flights today, thanks
to all for great teamwork. - JSt
