Mark
Courtney said he would be there on Bank Holiday Monday (after a family Christmas) to fly, and by 9:00am he was joined by Simon Collier, Stuart Procter, James Hood, James Flory and Simon Leeson who were all shivering in
the Clubhouse after a taste of the -4.5degs chill factor in the strong north north easterly
wind.
However after a couple of hours drinking tea, the wind calmed down
and they were joined by William Pope and Ruth Comer. After another look out of the
window it was decided to get the tug and a K21 out, and take to the top
end of the field and brave the cold.

Stuart took the first tow of the year with
James Flory demonstrating an aerotow. Everyone flew that wanted to in the
very pleasant sunshine and there was even some wave that extended some
of the flights.

8 tows in total so not very busy but Stuart and James made
good use of their new winter flying suits (that looked very much like the
one Mark had). - Stuart Procter
