Following Chairman Nick’s call out for an ad-hoc day, a small band of 12 (very) keen pilots showed up to 5 deg C temperatures and 20 knot + gusting crosswinds. Thanks to JB for providing the adult leadership and instructorship today.

| A quick stop for lunch (Tom Sides) |
The good news was that the field was dry, which was a relief as the Pawnee has begun its annual service. None of the winch launches were particularly high, but we were fortunate to have had only one weak link break. Anyway, they were high enough to allow everyone a chance to fly in the ridge lift and limited thermal activity. Testing times, but great fun. 14 launches with Wyn Davies in W7 longest flight of 1hr 14mins and Gordon Bonny and Andy Davey with long flights in K21s. - Tom Sides
