The day started a little cloudy and windy but with a large number of club members present. Flying started whilst Ron Johns was providing a socially distanced Task Week briefing.

With many Instructors present and keen to get in the air, the K21s were busy all day with booked training and ad-hoc flying. A Junior and the K6 DRE kept the solo pilots happy and then Chris Wool was seen preparing the DG505 for flying for the first time for several weeks/months. This led to quite a frenzy with both Instructors and members keen to renew the acquaintance.

With no improvement in the lowish cloudbase, Ron decided to scrub the Task Club 100 at 14:00pm. But several private gliders were rigged and joined in enjoying some local soaring with the ridge working. Pete Startup 230 was the longest flight of just over 2 hours.
