Low cloud stopped the Wednesday Regulars from getting into the skies but the Met Office put in an order for the clouds to clear for their evening trial lessons. The skies cleared for 17:00 as requested so that the 10 eager 'sky flier wannabees' could enjoy the thrill of our incredible sport.

| Group from the Met Office (Jill Harmer) |
Jill Harmer manned the launch point whilst Pete Harmer helped with glider retrieves. Gordon Hutchinson on the launch point activities, Stirling Melhuish on the cable retrieves and Hans Jenssen on the winch. With this crack team JB and Rowan Smith gave everyone two flights each, with several coming back for a third.
Each flight brought back fresh tales of delight to the waiting group. They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and after 24 flights and many grins we put the kit away with the same slickness that the evening was run. Many stayed for a drink to carry on sharing their experiences and asking questions about flying and gliding. Such a pleasure to have shared the evening with such an enthusiastic and fun group.
Many thanks for everyone who volunteered for the evening event. - Rowan Smith
