The forecast was for a glorious early autumn day with blue skies, fairly warm, light winds starting south easterly then going through south to southwesterly.
James Flory and John Sillett started working through the long two-seater flying list of training and red card checks and Dan Hender, Charlie Stuckey, Josh Funnell and Mark Worsfold took turns in the Juniors.
In the afternoon Phil Morrison joined in the training and card checks flights, and instigated the change of ends. Pete Harmer was tuggie and Jill Harmer DLM.
Pete Bennett and Tom Sides looked after the Trial lessons and Friends and family flights. Martin Bennett had a couple of flights in DG1, Martin Woolner in KMV and Jeff Taberham 380 had short soaring flights. Longest flight of the day was Ross Pratt in Junior with 1hr23 having been given permission to stay up for his two hour flight - and all below 1600ft!
