There was an ongoing bad
forecast for Wednesday this week, so it wasn't surprising that so few
members turned up, by 10:30 we had just enough to fly so we decided to
get the field set up "just in case" the weather should improve. As soon
as we had set the field up we had a downpour and a few members shaking
their heads.

As the
field was set up it was decided to have an early lunch and see what the
afternoon threw at us, surprise, surprise the weather started to clear
up.
From the first
flight it was soarable, all five members of the skeleton crew had good
soaring flights and all air braked down, we even hijacked Graham from the
clubhouse to man the LPV so we could have two gliders in the air at
once.

The conditions were very interesting at times and all who flew left
with big grins on their faces and for those who went early or didn't
like the forecast, hard cheese! - John Street.
