First, well done Chairman Nick for organising what turned out to be a brilliant day. The ridge was soarable from the first launch and by just after lunch there were thermals and streets up to just over 3000ft above North Hill.

| Lots of standing water still with Brian Knight (Peter Smith) |
Peter Smith and I were kept busy all day on training or currency checks. Both Chris Mew and David Clements were brought up to date and soloed in the Junior. Eric Alston rigged his beautiful machine and with the help of his iron thermal went off into the distance. Tim Petty flew with Peter to start getting back to flying after a long layoff. Ashley and Brain continued their training towards solo.

A small band who worked hard to make a successful day with 25 winch launches.
Thanks to all - it can only be done with team work. - John Sillett
