Some keen members were up the club early and everything was unpacked by 8:30 with the K21s and the Perkoz taken across to the launch point.
After a steady launch rate in the morning, the wind decided to change directions and the launch point was moved to the west end of the field. Pete Startup enjoyed a 2 hour soaring flight to Wellington and Witheridge. JB, Andy Davy, Robert Lee and other private pilots enjoyed longer local soaring flights.
By 4pm the wind decided to flip again and all the gliders were moved to the east end of the field ready to hand over to the evening crew.
All in all a very pleasant day with everyone enjoying some time in the air. - Josh Funnell
The weather stayed fair for the evening group to take over the gliders from late afternoon onwards. The conditions were calm with a very light wind allowing trainees to practice their winch, launch, circuit planning and approach/landing whilst various solo pilots used either a K21 or Junior to build their flying skills.
With a bright sky flying continued on well into the evening with the last flight shortly after 9 - Mike Sloggett
