The weather over the last few months have not been good
for gliding, so today’s positive weather forecast meant that for the
second week in a row, members decided to take advantage of the blue skies
and sunshine to get into the air on a Friday.
From the start of the day to the end, the good weather allowed members to regain or retain currency.

| Congratulations to Stirling (Malcolm Vest) |
The
Instructors Peter Smith, Mike Sloggett, Ron Johns and Phil Morrison were kept busy all day in the K21s completing pre-solo
training and currency checks whilst both Juniors were in steady demand -
with congratulations to Stirling Melhuish for completing a successful conversion to the Junior.

| Robert Lee completed some aerotows in the Pawnee (Robert Lee) |
Gordon Hutchinson brought his new glider DG202 (JDP) out for the first time taking a couple of high aerotows to get familiar with it.

| Another great ad-hoc day (Mike Sloggett) |
And
late afternoon with the sun setting and the temperature dropping
steadily with everyone having flown the gliders were washed and put
away.
As ever continuing teamwork during the day by all to help get others into the air 36 winch launches and 4 aerrotows - Thank you to all involved today - another good call for an ad-hoc day on North Hill GG - Mike Sloggett
