After four days of continuous flying it was hoped that today’s actual weather would be better than the forecast but as the Course members and helpers assembled in the Clubhouse it was evident from looking out of the windows that cloudbase was not high enough to allow much optimism of flying. A review of the weather forecast indicated rain moving towards the airfield so it was time to complete some training cards and other paperwork - after which there were various discussions on gliding and general aviation topics as well as wider subjects.

The Club simulator was also brought into use allowing some Course members to continue practising their turning, circuit practice, approach and landings.

Late morning the rain duly arrived and with other rain likely to move in from the East evident on the weather radar an early lunch was taken. It was then time for everyone to wend their individual ways home - Thank You to all the Course members and helpers who have made this a very enjoyable week, (Ed: not to mention the Instructors Mike Sloggett and Peter Smith) - Mike Sloggett
