The day started with a forecast north northwesterly wind and a lot of cloud, so the launch point was set up in the southwest corner of the field and flying soon commenced with Lisa instructing in a K21,
Martin Woolner and John Sillett were running an aerobatics course in the Perkoz with David Cowley, Paul Summers, Andy Davey and Trevor Russell and Charlie Stuckey, Dan Hender and Alan Turner were flying the Junior.
With little soaring everyone had a few circuits before the wind became a steady north northeasterly and Steve Westlake called the decision to change ends.

Having changed ends the launch heights improved as did the flying in general. 3 Trial lesson visitors enjoyed their flights and everyone enjoyed more training and general flying.
A bit more sun appeared in the afternoon (Lisa Humphries) |
Congratulations to Dan for getting his red card signed up, having completed his 25th solo flight, and to Charlie who was checked out and soloed the DG505.

A big thank you to Lisa for instructing all day and to Steve for his help in the afternoon as they took on a long list between them, also thanks to tuggies James Hood and Pete Harmer who shared the 15 aerotows, and Peter March and John Borland - DLMs, and everyone else who helped the day run smoothly. - Charlie Stuckey
