The forecast was not too optimistic for flying but a good group of Thursday regulars turned up to see if it would be wrong.....
Whilst waiting for the low cloud to lift, some jobs were undertaken, first the Junior LRD was rigged - an education for those who hadn't done it before. Then the hangar was unpacked to slot the Junior in its normal place, and there was just a hint of drizzle starting by the time everything was put back in.

Wooly turned up with an ice-cream box full of presents, which then involved a "What is it quiz?" With a little prompting we eventually worked out that Wooly had designed and manufactured a number of Flarm Aerial "Keepie-Uppies". They were fitted to all the Club gliders and DRE -Thanks Chris.

Whilst this was going on, Paul got the mower out to tidy up round the clubhouse, the picnic tables were moved to facilitate and everyone admired the recent repairs that Tom had completed on the damaged picnic table.

The drizzle from the front started getting heavier so coffee and lunches were called for, and we started discussing the restart of the Exeter ACP.
So many skills amongst our members......and then we looked at Glide and Seek and saw DSGC members enjoying themselves at Denbigh and Portmoak, but drizzle continued at North Hill. - J&P
