Another Wednesday, another good soaring day, with a large contingent of Brentor members we had quite a long flying list.

| Launch point in the middle of the field (Mark Layton) |
All the available gliders were in use, both Juniors, both K21s and the Perkoz. It was decided to launch from the middle of the field to protect the southwesterly winch run, but the field was in surprisingly good nick considering the recent spell of very wet weather.

| Obviously thermic (Steve Fletcher) |
From the first launch it was obviously going to be very thermic, the take off and landings were quite character building in the gusting and west southwesterly wind, on some flights heights of nearly 2,000ft were reached from the winch launch.
 |
| North Hill airfield (John Street) |
We had enough members to stagger lunch, we kept flying all day and most pilots had soaring flights, we had to limit the soaring flights to 30min on the two seaters to ensure everyone flew.
surprisingly, no private gliders flew today.
