There was a reasonable forecast for easterly wind, sunshine and some soaring, which brought the Thursday regulars out in force.
The hangar was emptied - first time in a while - and five Instructors and all the two-seaters were kept busy all day. Late morning it became soarable to 2400ft and the junior pilots joined in with the local soaring. Robin W-F was the sole private owner rigged and he flew for most of the soarable part of the day.

Congratulations to Paul M, occupying CFI Pete all morning and successfully completing his Bronze flight skills tests. We also hosted Jordan and John from Culdrose with Wooly giving them refresher winch training (they normally auto-tow) prior to them attending an Asst Cat course next week. Thanks also to Ron, Paul and JB for occupying the other back seats.
