With a useless weather forecast for Thursday, the Wednesday regulars were nearly outnumbered by the Thursday contingent who descended on us, and with the number of flights we needed to do, the help from Mark Courtney and Mike Sloggett was most welcome.

Once again it was aerotow only due to the soft condition of the field, we started flying as soon as the canopies were clear,with fairly bright sun this did not take long.

The two K21s and the Perkoz and a Junior were all in constant use all day until poor light and misting canopies put an end to flying but everyone flew. Sandy Harrop was cleared for solo aerotow and Malcolm Vest took to the air again with a solo aerotow.

Chris Warnes and Nick Harrison flew back seat in preparation for their respective B.I. courses, Eric Alston had the longest flight of 50 mins, there was a bit of lift on the West ridge and the odd thermal and a bit of early wave of the southwest corner.

Many thanks to Mark Courtney and Robert Lee for the 25 aerotows and all who helped with groundwork for a very successful winter's day. - John Street.
