There was a huge flying list prompted by a reasonable weather forecast, school half-term and a full list of booked trial lesson flights, there were also some temporary members from Open Weekend.

| Getting ready for a busy day (John St) |
The
soaring started early with Jeff T playing with some low cloud and Peter B
trying his hand at back-seat launch failures with John St.
Mike
Fitz and John St had nearly a hour as the sea breeze was setting in, Pete St
in Discus 230 tried in vain to beat the sea air, - Tim J, Nigel and Jeff T
all had the same fate.
Peter
W was tuggie and was kept busy most of the day with Pete Sm doing a
stirling job with the many trial lessons. It wasn't soarable for the rest of the
day until about 5.00pm when suddenly the wind veered round to the north west,and
a wave band set up with the last two K21s enjoying unexpected good
soaring conditions, both had to air-brake down to hand over to the
evening flyers. - JSt
In the evening, our first group this year from Wimbleball Sailing Club enjoyed a working ridge to extend some flights, and we welcomed back DSGC Life member Peter Moore who hadn't visited the Club for several years. - J&P
