This is the third good start on a Wednesday this year, again we had a good long flying list without the problem of misting canopies.

| Ready to launch (John Street) |
We had two new club members to fly alongside Sue Dyson -who has been with us a while, all needing training and Chris Warnes to be signed off for his new yellow card, we had three two-seaters and four Instructors available for training.

| Chris preparing for his yellow card checks (John Street) |
The DG505 was used most of the morning for Chris to complete his yellow card checks with John Street, while Glenn Turpin, John Sillett,and Pete Warren looked after the pre-solo pilots.
 |
| First aerotow (David Clements) |
Roly was waiting for his DG all morning and after a check flight had an aerotow with Heather. About midday some thermals started to appear and Nick Harrison made good use of them with the longest flight of the day managing 29min, there were also several others who managed shorter soaring flights.

| Congratulations to Rob Rand (Mark Courtney) |
Both the motor gliders were in use for most of the day with Rob Rand completing his Cross-Country Endorsement with Mark Courtney.visiting The Park and Compton Abbas.

| Glenn flying with a new member (David Clements) |
We had three aerotow and 35 winch launches in total. January is proving to be much better than last year, fingers crossed for the rest of the winter. - John Street.
