A small group of hopefuls arrived to find some early low-level orographic cloud over the field. By the time that the ground equipment and gliders were prepared most of the low-level cloud had gone and the medium level cloud hinted at some wave activity.

John Sillett as duty instructor started his way through the two-seat training list and was kept busy all day. Trial lessons and tug duties were shared by Robert Lee and Pete Warren. Private gliders HES and 877 were rigged and flown by their owners. Falke VG was flown too. By mid-afternoon cloud streets had formed allowing runs to the M5 and back in near constant lift.
40 gliding flights were completed by the end of the day, nothing over an hour but fun for all. - James Smart
