A much quieter Saturday today with a smaller list of students and no
private owners, which was expected with the weather conditions. It was
flyable all day stopping for the odd shower during the afternoon. We
flew 2 of the 3 trial lesson flights, unfortunately one of the people
booked was 17 stone so just not possible to accommodate. One of the
Trial Lessons was for a lady celebrating her 90th birthday, not only did
she enjoy her Aerotow around the cloudbase but also took a winch launch
AND with a Go-pro strapped to her head by her family who turned up from
Scotland and various other places to watch. Supergran must come to
mind! and Paul did a wonderful job looking after her!

VG was made good use of with Stuart and Oscar and then later on Simon M and Mark all practising their potential field landings.
Liam continued with his BI practising skills on James with Pete B taking notes.

Meanwhile
James flew a few members this morning whilst Mark C looked on
supervising the solo flights he authorised and Tim L experienced a nice
awkward cable break before flying the junior. One of our Junior members
(Heathers nephew) having helped out all day had a good few flights in
the 21 and DG. Everything packed away by 5pm but a nice relaxed day at
North Hill for those who were there! - Lisa
