For once the forecast was spot on and a large contingent of members turned up to enjoy the first club flying day of 2019 in the bright blue sparkling sunshine.
John Sillett was first in the air followed by everyone eager to get back in the air after after some very indifferent December weather.
We flew from the southwest corner in the light northeasterly wind, there was no lift to speak of although George Sanderson found some lift under a nice cloud after a 2,000ft aerotow and floated about in zero sink for a while.
We flew until after 4:00pm and everyone flew, we managed to fly all the gliders back to the hangar before the canopies started to mist up.
