It was going to be another hot one! with the Course using the K21s and the Club members the DG505, Perkoz and Junior, the kit was all washed and and walked to the west end of the airfield. Thanks to Chris Wool for the new corporate sunshade look outside the Clubhouse.

It quickly became obvious that after the great work from the rope party yesterday on the North cable, the South cable was also in urgent need of replacement. So another team of volunteers led by Andy Davey prepared the new rope whilst launching continued. -Thanks all.

Late morning, Gordon Hutchinson enjoyed an hour long flight in the Junior, but the blue skies proved difficult until after lunch and then everybody found that Forest Glade Caravan Site was kicking off reliable thermals to 3000ft.
Jack Raybould consolidated his first solo yesterday with two more circuits. Mark Layton in 477 flew for 2 hours and Mike Fairclough in DFK for 3 hours.
Good Luck to all our Pilots heading up to Yorkshire for Competition Enterprise, we'll be watching progress on Spot the Gliders and reporting back here during the week. - J&P
