A
good turnout for the Wednesday crowd mostly muttering about the frailty
of the forecast, however the professionals got it right and we had a
very good day, plenty of lift (except when your correspondent flew solo)
and strong sink as well.
The club gliders were busy all day, training
and checking; Sandy and Dave Perriam card checked, Chris Warnes was airborne for 2
and a quarter hours.

The privateers were out in force amongst them the
three ‘heavies’ both Duo’s and the Ash lumbering off on long-range
missions and to add a bit of class John Pursey and Stirling Melhuish flew one of the
Eagles.

All in all an excellent day but better still to crown it all,
John Street appeared at the launch point looking very well, good luck
