So it was good to see today that the weather was much in line with what had been forecast and that similarly a large number of members had decided to believe that the forecast might well be fairly accurate.
With a long flying list already established before 9am, as well as various trial lessons having been booked, all of the available Club gliders were taken out of the hangar whilst the launch point was set up in the South East corner of the field.

It was noticed that the Club Treasurer's mood changed slightly after seeing gliders being winched but then following a decision to aerotow at half price cost to members - however after a call out for William and his expertise the SkyLaunch was soon back in operation.

By mid-afternoon the wind, which had started off with a bit of West in it's direction, now had more than a bit of East in it, so take-offs became a little more interesting and some landings were completed from the West back towards the launch point.

A good day when everyone helped each other to get into the air and as only the second Sunday in a number of weeks where the weather was good enough to fly, both those members present and the Club Treasurer were left suitably happy with the outcome of the day.
A big thank you to Gordon H one of those two members above who had winched for a major part of the day but did not fly himself .
