Three of our members John P, Matthew W and Tim P organised an afternoon / evening group session for work colleagues from UTC Aerospace. The weather conditions were perfect for trial lessons with blue skies and a light south westerly breeze, with just a little soaring to extend most of the flights. After the first round of flights, half of the group decided to experience the aerobatic side of gliding.

The evening was rounded off with a curry prepared by Cheryl & Graham, and the CFI was keen to get a new type in his logbook by trying out a Segway which Matthew had brought along. Later on, preparations were being made for tomorrow's early start.
