The forecast for Wednesday was
reasonable up until today, when we were greeted by damp conditions, but
being optimists the kit was taken out and readied for flying, However, the
damp persisted, so Mike Fitz gave a talk on thermal technique whilst we
waited for a clearance.
The
clearance was slow in coming, so the front wheel on KEK was changed as
it had been suffering from a slow puncture and long needed changing. We then set about the
markings on the hangar floor for packing the gliders, there were a lot of
obsolete markings to erase.
The
rain persisted and after lunch members started to drift away and by the
time we had a clearance we didn't have enough members to fly. - JSt
