A smaller group of the Thursday regulars turned up today hoping that the actual wether might be better than forecast. However as the morning unfolded the continuing low cloud and lack of any sunshine suggested such optimism was misplaced so the Clubhouse was put to good use with conversations across a variety of aviation and non-aviation subjects.
The Club simulator was also used for some fun flying by various members.

Then around midday it seemed as if patience might be rewarded with suggestions of the cloud lifting enough to allow some gliding to take place. So a Junior and K21 were brought out of the hangar and the winch set up in the South West corner of the field - with glimpses of blue skies the members present were suitably encouraged to leave the Clubhouse to start planning for some gliding.
And then within just a few minutes of the weather seeming to improve the potential window of opportunity was slammed shut and everyone took up their previous seats in the Clubhouse. A short while later and it was evident that the gliders and ground equipment needed to be put away
