Another hot day but very few members, Mark Courtney was busy instructing all morning and then Rowan Smith took over for the afternoon stint.

Paul Summers flew the Trial lessons and the rest just about managed to keep the field running. Stu Procter and Michael Harris rigged their gliders and had some nice long flights along with other members also having good stick time in the 2 seaters.

If you managed to get into lift off the winch launch it was strong and possible to be at cloudbase 3000ft QFE, descending required airbrakes after an hour as a refreshment break was in order.
VG was seen thermaling engine off and making good progress too. Brentor members were checking out the Supacat winch and Mark commented on how high the launches were, expertly driven by Dick Stevens of course.
Summer is definitely here – but for how long, lets make the most of it while it lasts! - Lisa Humphries
