A bright start with the forecast incoming cloud on the horizon to the north, and some beautiful lenticulars to photograph.

| Lenticulars out of reach (Jill Harmer) |
The Thursday regulars were keen to get started alongside the Course members, and with good height launches and some thermals there were extended circuits and some hour long flights. However the private owners never found it totally convincing and all stayed local with cloudbase at just over 2000ft. Ron Johns and Chris Wool explored some unconvincing convergences in the ASH25.

| Dan's enjoying flying the Junior (Jill Harmer) |
Dan Hender had another 8 flights in the Junior including soaring flights, and Charlie Stuckey fitted in a couple of flights in K6 alongside passing his Bronze exam, completing the Bronze Endorsement - well done.
 |
| Congratulations to Charlie Stuckey (Mark Courtney) |
Mike and Harry Rigby and Adam Mortimer continued their training flights and Graham Hawker enjoyed some more soaring in the Perkoz.
 |
| K6 landing (David Clements) |
Ian Mitchell was busy in the Rotax Falke including flights with Andy Davey (practising cloud flying) and Chris Warnes (field landings).
 |
| Another winch launch for Dan (David Clements) |
56 winch launches and 2 aerotows in total.
In the evening, there was the customary Course dinner, but in the Clubhouse cooked by Cheryl and Graham. - J&P
