Wednesday was sandwiched between a diabolical day on Tuesday and an equally diabolical forecast for Thursday, the Wednesday club arrived to the " sunlit uplands of North Hill".

| The aerotow queue (David Clements) |
The gliders were out of the hangar and their daily inspections done under the expert supervision of James Flory. The only problem was the canopies would not de-mist so back into the clubhouse for a lecture by James on aerotowing. This was very apt because of the delicate condition of the airfield surface, and after a field inspection it was decided it would be aerotows only.

| Takeoff (David Clements) |
We had a long list and because of the delayed start we decided to limit the flight times to 30min, from the first launch it was obvious it was going to be a good soaring day, we had a kind of wave with ridge lift and for a while before lunch a cloud street to just under 3,000ft.
