Well it certainly was a Good Friday , a nice day out and very warm. The visibility was disappointing but everyone made the most of the day and all who turned up flew. James Flory, Wooly and I assisted with the required instruction duties and it was lovely to see Dick Stevens and Roy Boddy back for the Easter weekend. Alan Turner and Hans Jenssen took the Junior for a few laps around the local area and as usual Daniels family were keeping the club operations going with Father and Son also getting in the air. Daniels friend had his first gliding experience, and was being utilised well by Daniel collecting gliders in the Gator. Martin Woolner continued his training in the Motor glider and James Hood had one Aerotow job with the Perky and Rick Andrews who went aloft for some spinning with Chris Wool.

"So glad I went gliding yesterday. 5 minute circuits all morning but all afternoon it was blooming fabulous and who'd have thought I'd miss my silver height by just a couple of hundred feet in a clear blue sky! Thanks all who turned up and made it possible." - a very happy Hans

Flights were mainly extended circuits but there was some lift in the afternoon if you could find it, Roy and I managed to get to 2200ft before being called down at 5pm as the helpers on the ground had to go home. Thanks to Graham and Cheryl for opening up at lunchtime and nice to see the Minsons who brought Jules mum to the club for lunch. - Lisa Humphries
