The forecast for Wednesday was for reasonable weather in the morning with rain spreading from the West later in the day. We had a large flying list and a shortage of instructors and two Trial lessons booked so we decided to set up the field and fly until the rain arrived and not stop for lunch.

The flying was reasonable all morning and most flights were in the region of 15 minutes due to weak wave and high launches, most people flew before the rain arrived, the rain stopped for a while after lunch but the field was saturated so the decision was made to call it a day.

The gliders were put in the hangar as really heavy rain set in, we made the most of the day with the instructors we had, but unfortunately some members did not fly. - John Street.
