There was low cloud and drizzle to start, but hopeful that it would clear before the main rain band came in late afternoon. By lunchtime there were some glimmers of hope, but the first Wellington School morning had to make do with safety briefings and videos. - If only we had the simulator ready.....
The winch was set up to test drive the demo Gator towing cables out, which was quite successful.

After lunch, frustration beat common sense and an aerotow was attempted as the field was still quite wet.
Unfortunately during the aerotow, the cloud lowered again and it started to rain - 1000ft and 8 mins longest and only flight of the day.
Pete H gave another presentation on Flying with Flarm, followed by the last of this year's Winter talks - About the Volunteer Gliding Squadrons (VGS) presented by James Flory who has now been flying with us since end of September and soloed on gliders last weekend. Thanks also to Cheryl & Graham who catered for a small but perfectly formed group of members.
