Another very hot day today at DSGC and not many members (several pundits have decamped to Aston Down for Competition Enterprise and Nympsfield for Sid's Task Week) but enough to keep the launch point busy. Thanks to James Flory, Glenn Turpin and Rowan Smith for their hard work in the back seats, also to Stu Procter and Mike Fairclough for providing the tows. Everyone flew and there was quite a lot of sink with the Easterly wind, especially on the approach.

Later in the afternoon things calmed down a bit and there was lift everywhere for those who could brave the hot cockpits.

There were several Trial lessons Flights and a visitor from Lasham, all of whom went away very happy. Thanks to everyone enduring these unbelievably hot conditions, team work is what makes it happen! Winter will soon be upon us so mustn’t complain! - Lisa Humphries
