All day the sky was overcast, this didn't hamper spirits or the lift!
The ridge worked well all day, with regular thermals making things interesting. Pete St had the longest flight of the day with over 2 hours, staying up through the shower that brought most down.
Considering the sky there was a surprising number of private gliders, Pete St in 230, Andrew L in his K6, Martin and Stu in their LS3 and Mike F in the Pik.
John P pressed on through the huge flying list in the morning, with help from Lisa. In the afternoon Ian was helped by Stuart, Martin, Robin and Roly all instructing! Thanks to all the members today for generating so many smiling faces and happy students! Plenty of people were also picking up the required skills to help out on the ground.
Welcome to the brothers, Rory and Owen, and James from the Portsmouth naval gliding club.
Just on queue, as the hanger doors closed the sky brightened up revealing plentiful lenticulars! - Matt W
