Clear blue skies and a light east southeasterly wind greeted the Thursday crowd, but quite a few of the Regulars were away, and so it was quite a small group of members that walked the gliders up to the far end of the field.

| Hazy blue skies (Jill Harmer) |
The circuits were rather short to start with, but just before lunchtime, Andy Williams in FUN and Pete Startup in 230 decided to take a launch as there were just a few small wisps appearing. Pete crept out as far as MUD and nearly to Chard, whilst Andy stayed closer to home, but both enjoyed over 3 hours soaring.
Training flights continued with limited success at soaring with just a couple of 20-30 mins flights and there were a lot of simulated launch failures to keep everyone busy retrieving gliders from the other end of the field.
