Wed 7th August

Another late start due to orographic cloud, and then there were just 6 launches before the first of the two occlusions came through calling an early lunch.
Drying  all the gliders (Jill Harmer)
Once all the gliders had been dried, it was full steam ahead with launching, with both Course members and Club members using all the Club fleet. The wind direction varied throughout the day,  there were occasional thermals particularly late on. Flights were also extended  with some ridging and weak wave. 
Tim Johns  completed his checks in Perkoz (Tim Johns)
Rick Andrews and Tim Johns completed their currency checks, Chris Warnes was checked out for DG505 and several new members continued their basic training. 
Lovely evening (Lisa Humphries)
It was another lovely evening for Club member flying. 66 winch launches  in total. - J&P
