There wasn’t a huge turn out of members this morning, but those that did, were keen to fly, so all the kit was taken to the west end by 10am, and with a selection of instructors to choose from the day was on.
Training started for Adam Niemcyzk with Peter Smith and Andrew Broderick with James Flory, then check flights for Martin Bennett and BI checks for Tom Sides with Stuart Procter.

| Dan's hiding somewhere showing the 1st Hemyock Scout Group a glider (Fiona Bennett) |
At 11:30 1st Hemyock Scout Group were walking past, and asked if they could come and look at the gliders, so Dan and Fiona kindly gave them a chat and tour, and they stayed and happily watched a few launches, future members among them I’m sure.
Flying continued throughout lunch, with Martin Bennett re soloing and achieving 92 mins and his Silver height gain, Alan Turner getting just over an hour in LRD and new member Sam Slattery getting 82 mins with Peter Smith. Dan Hender then took LRD and also achieved his Silver height gain. Congratulations to Martin and Dan.
Paul Summers came off his winch driving stint to take the Perkoz with John Sillett, and Glenn Turpin (duty instructor pm) finally got a flight with Adam at 2.30pm!
I apologise if I have missed anyone during the day, with so few present I hope I have captured you all, thank you to everyone for your hard work today. - Sally Hender
