There were quite a few eager faces in the clubhouse for 9am, after checking the conditions Martin Woolner and James Flory decided to set up the launchpoint and winch.
Even more turned up at 10am for the Task briefing, however after an inspiring talk from Chairman Nick about his history in gliding, there were very few to rush to the launch to attempt the task!
The booked training for Alan Turner and Mike Meatyard enjoyed their flights with James Flory, however with blue card conditions few others were tempted to fly.
