Wednesday 8th February

Another busy Wednesday, for once the forecast was spot on with a light northwesterly wind, we started flying at about 10am with a large flying list to get through, fortunately we didn't suffer from misting canopies.

As there was not much scope for soaring a lot of members opted for card checks, John Street spent the whole day  giving launch failure practices helped by Martin Woolner.

As forecast, the wind started to back to the northeast, so at lunch time we changed ends to the southwest corner resulting in much better launches.
Junior landing (Dave Clements)
 
 Both Juniors were in use today and kept busy plus HCX and R37 with the tug on C of A there was no trial lessons today. We managed 43 launches and John Street clocked up walking about 4 miles up and down the field with all the launch failures. - John Street.
