After a run of dreadful
weather on Wednesdays the forecast for this Wednesday was not great but
at least it was going to be flyable, in the event the weather turned out
to to be good.
There
were several private glider pilots agonising whether to rig or not, the
soaring started at about 10:30am with Dave Clements in CVV was the
first to stay up, this started a flurry of rigging.
Along with Dave, Pete Startup 230, Jeff Taberham 380, Tim Johns 877 and Peter Smith 1UP all rigged and had good soaring flights.
The July course week run by Martin Woolner & Peter Field was in full swing and fitted in seamlessly with the Wednesday club.

Warnes had an enjoyable hour in the Junior and Robert was the Tuggie for
the day. - John Street
