Following another soarable day on Wednesday, the Thursday regulars arrived to a retreating occlusion with the Low running along the channel and a cold northeasterly wind, the K21s and Perkoz were walked up to the west end but the forecast rain squall arrived before the Juniors could move, so they were temporarily popped back in the hangar just in case.

Once the rain had cleared, getting away was a bit hit and miss, with Pete Startup leading the way and completing 2 Club 100s. Some Club gliders managed to break through the low level turbulence to get some soaring, but after a change of ends the conditions perked up for a short while until the sea air took over.

Well done to all those who completed their recency check flights, and sorry that we didn't manage to get through all those on the 2-seater list.
Congrats to Charlie (Mark Courtney)
Congratulations to competing Junior members - Charlie Stuckey for completing his Cross-country endorsement with Mark, (with Josh Funnell last week). - J&P
