A day of soaring and showers which weren't quite as isolated as we had hoped. There was a series of walls of rain passing through Devon in the light north westerly wind. The first one lined up with an early lunch, and all the soaring gliders decided to land back in the rain.

It was good to see Pete Bennett back from his studies at Cardiff University, and also Heather Clarke who has been away for a while.

Well done to Rick Andrews for completing his conversion to the Perkoz.

| Well done Rick solo in Perkoz (Mike Sloggett) |
Due to the rain breaks, the longest flights of the day were all just under 1 hour, but 40 winch launches in total with 8 aerotows, thanks to Mike and Barbie Fairclough for tugging.
A very pleasant day for non-flaming June, thanks to everyone for contributing. - J&P
