Another day, another huge flying list, not quite complete cloud cover and a north westerly wind. Things got going quite quickly with the first launch before 10:00am and soaring immediately. The hangar was empty with four two-seaters going all day and the two Juniors soaring from about lunchtime. We welcomed David back from Open Weekend, and three trial lessons all enjoyed their flights.

Thanks to Peter F and John Si who answered the call for help with Instructing. The Clubhouse turned into a temporary study room for those revising for their exams. Pete St rigged 230at just the right time and made it to Eaglescott and back.
