With the July course in full swing the Wednesday crew set to work walking a Junior and the Perkoz up to the southwest corner under the expert supervision of Glenn Turpin.
It was obvious that the North cable needed to be replaced, so John Street & Mike Wilmott set to work to replace the entire cable whilst the Course managed with just one cable. Working with the busy launch point this took most of the morning and didn't seem to affect the launch rate much.
After lunch Reuben has his red card renewed after a break from gliding for a few months, the course and the club flying worked well together.
Although the sky looked good and soarable it was quite difficult to get away from a winch launch, those taking an aerotow had no such problems. Chris Warnes had no problem getting away from a winch launch, he was still airborne at 6:15pm, wandering about at over 4,000ft, meanwhile John Street & Andreas Kramer had over an hour at over 4,000ft, we handed over to the Wednesday evening crew at 6.00pm (that is of course with the exception of Chris Warnes who was still airborne! - John Street.

After another hot day at North Hill with the Course and the Club flying in full flow, the Wednesday Evening Group provided some further training opportunities.
