The forecast sounded quite good , with only a possibility of a light shower, however after nice start the clouds were seen to be building rather rapidly and by lunchtime the sky was rather black to the west, so the gliders were parked carefully

and some returned to the hangar in case of a gust front. In the event it just rained quite hard over lunchtime.

There were some further interruptions for lighter showers during the afternoon, but we managed to get through the long flying list and Trial lessons. There was a short period with some reasonable soaring conditions and an empty launch point. Thanks to Mark and Stu for helping out with Instructing and to Robert for tugging. - J&P
