Thankfully, the forecast of cloudy skies and a crossing cold front during the day wasn’t enough to deter a large turnout this Sunday. There was a large flying list for both the single and two-seaters and Peter Field, Ron Johns and John Sillett started cracking on with the training.

The morning flights were generally short but breaks in the cloud encouraged everyone to keep trying. There was a large Junior turnout this Sunday with Charlie, Jack, Ollie, Daniel, Harvey and Oliver helping out when they weren’t flying. After a quick stop for lunch, flying resumed with (OMG) thermals as well a small amount of ridge lift providing lengthened flight times. The weak cold front continued to cycle the cloud cover and by mid-afternoon most of the thermal energy was gone.

All of the voucher trial flights went away with cheesy grins, and the member flying finished up around 5pm. In all, it was a fantastic way to end the last day of September. - Tom Sides
