As forecast, there was a varying southerly wind at the club today which gave members a chance to practice circuits and even occasional soaring in sporting conditions. At one point we did change ends, but as usual, whilst we were doing so the wind direction changed again.
Nick Redfern won the award for the longest flight with 86 mins and there were quite a few flights over 30 mins. We had three Mile High trial lesson visitors as well as a few friends and family flights which were fitted in around club flying.

We also welcomed back Anja who progressed her flying with JB.
Simon Minson put his regional examiner hat on and put James Flory and Steve Westlake through their respective checks in the Perkoz - congratulations on passing (completion and revalidation) to both of them!
Towards the end of the day, the number of members present reduced and we were left with the minimum number of people needed to fly, but due to the number of instructors, it was no problem getting through the flying list. Thanks to everybody that stayed on to help.

(The worst part of the day was getting home and seeing the number of 300km and 500km flights on the ladder. Can we move NH 50 miles east please?) - Pete Bennett
