We
began the day with Simon Leeson duty instructor and set up at the West
end of the field with a Junior and K21. Lizzie Westcott, and then Rob Rand managed the
bubble, Roy Boddy winching, Barbie tugging and we had just enough people with the whole
of the Carter family pitching in to operate. Dave Weeks, Lizzie and Ellie Carter had some check flights then flew the Junior.

The
morning Mile high trial flight was flown by Simon but at midday we
received a note from JB to say he was delayed for the afternoon DI slot.
A call to the clubhouse asking for help was answered by Guy who agreed to step into the breach.
Neil
Carter did a marvelous job selling the club, chatting with a large
group of walkers passing by, some of whom said they would definitely be
back to have a trial flight.
We
broke for a late lunch at between 2 and 3 and then had some light rain
spots. No one wanted to fly again so the hangars were repacked and we
were all relaxing by 4pm and marveling at the clouds as the front began
to develop in the west. 16 flights but all fairly short. If I had thought I would have included a
picture! - Rob Rand and Ray Dodd
