The weather forecast suggested that a trip to North Hill might be more in optimism about any flying being possible.
And sadly the large group of members who turned up at the Club were indeed left disappointed as first the fog then low misty cloud continued to drift across the airfield all morning.
With no flying taking place Mike F and Pete Sm organised the replacement of much of the right hand winch cable whilst Mark C completed some lectures in the briefing room.

| Replacing winch cable (Mike Sl) |
Mid-morning with a brightening sky there was just enough optimism of a
potential clearance for some of the gliders to be taken out of the
hangar.
However after much drinking of tea and coffee during the morning, accompanied by even more looking at the sky, Although the sun did make an appearance, the orographic low cloud continued in the strengthening southerly wind, and with a forecast of rain from mid-afternoon the decision was made to call it a day and put the gliders back into the hangar.
Let's hope the weather improves soon... Mike Sl
