There were forecasts of drizzly troughs and cold fronts to come through during the day, but it was a pleasant start setting up with a south westerly breeze. Initially circuits and launch failures under the low cloudbase until drizzle forced a coffee break which dragged into lunch. By 3pm the sky opened up behind the weak cold front and it became nicely soarable to 2000ft. Longest flight was Chris M on the hangar flight with 28 mins - his first solo soaring flight "I could have stayed there all evening".
Update on Nick - "The operation itself went entirely according to plan, and we hope that
he will be out of ICU tomorrow. As soon as we know which ward he is on, and Nick
feels up to receiving visitors, I will let you know. As you can
imagine, he will love to see lots of his DSGC friends while he is
convalescing." CH
