It was misty at the Club early on, but Mark said let's get everything out and then he went for breakfast!
The mist cleared into very low orographic cumulus and we sacrificed Aston to check cloudbase, 3 minutes later he was back and declared it 800ft, so there was a little delay with more flying.

| Low cloudstreet was present most of the day (Jill Harmer) |
The low cumulus got rather annoying as it kept reforming just at the top of the winch run in a southwesterly street, but there was masses of nice blue sky away from the cloudstreet, and the first trial lesson was able to experience a wondrous cloudscape from an aerotow.
During the day the local street was continually reforming with the base varying from 900ft to 1400ft, so we worked round this including 2 Mile High flights.

Congratulations to John Borland for getting the last signature for his Bronze. There were 39 flights in all so it was quite a busy day but everyone flew. Pete Startup had the longest flight of 61 minutes in DG505. - J&P
