Today started a bit misty but the warm sun soon burned it away which left us with some wispy low cloud which it was easy to fly round.
We had three trial lessons booked, Glenn Turpin flew them and Pete Warren was tuggie, it was nice to see Pete at the club again as he has not been able to get up the last few Wednesdays.
There was plenty of card checks and check flights to be done plus several pre-solo training, three two-seaters were kept busy all day.
There was very little thermal activity about, Glenn managed to stay up on the southwest corner for a while and had the longest flight, we handed the gliders over to the Wednesday Evening Club about 5.30pm.

Arriving at the Club early evening it was great to see that Lisa Humphries was already getting the Wednesday evening flying underway, launching in K21 HCX into a bright if not a tad milky sun. With a fairly long flying list against a backdrop of shortening evenings it was good to see everyone working together well to launch and retrieve gliders.

Mid-evening it became clear that with misting canopies likely it was necessary to reduce the number of training flights for those present and eventually the reluctant, but safe, decision was made to bring flying to a close for the evening.

As well as the various training flights completed Karen King took a Junior for a flight, continuing to build her experience in a single seat glider.
