Not a brilliant forecast for today but plenty of the usual suspects turned up, so we readied a Junior and the two K21s for the days flying.

| Chris Warnes has the first flight of the day (John Street) |
The morning consisted of very quick circuits interrupted with heavy hail showers, Chris Warnes was first to launch but was soon back on the ground, we stopped for lunch at about 12:30pm with a particularly heavy hail shower and a very dark looking sky.

It turned to be a day of two halves, in the afternoon it became very thermic with most flights having some good soaring. Chris Warnes had the longest flight of 44mins, although Robert Lee would have definitely had the longest flight (if he had not have to land due to an impeding hailstorm).

John Sillett and Glenn Turpin looked after the pre-solo pilots who all had good soaring flights.
