With the first rain overnight for two weeks at North Hill, it was a little drizzly to start and the members had largely found other things to do. By lunchtime the forecast clearance had arrived and the cloudbase started to rise nicely.

| Pawnee back in action (Mark Courtney) |
A big thank you to Ian Mitchell for getting the Pawnee back serviceable with a new Impulse Mag. So with 8 Instructors and a Tug Pilot present, and the 3 booked Trial lesson visitors hoping for some flights, we set up a limited aerotow operation. with DD3 and ENW joining in the fun. With few members, we were also able to accommodate two other trial lesson flights.

| ENW at cloudbase (James Hood) |
Phil Morrison and Hans Jenssen were first to launch in DD3, with Lisa Humphries next, getting some solo time in KEK, and reporting back cloudbase rising to more than 2000ft. There was even plenty of sky to get our Mile High flight in.

| Convergence (Stu Procter) |
Conditions were quite strong especially when a convergence street set up over the airfield.

| Phil and Stu in DD3 (Stu Procter) |
Stu Procter was invited to try out DD3 and Phil and Stu turned Crediton. So it turned out quite nice in the end with 10 aerotows, and we hope to see some of our visitors returning during their 3 months temporary membership. - J&P
