The morning started with clear blue skies and a touch of frost, but with a scrubbed day yesterday and Thursday, there were a lot of members up bright and early emptying the hangar at 9am!
The flying list nearly filled the page, so five Club gliders were taken out, with the K6, DRE rigged too with Josh Funnell, Dan Hender, Charlie Stuckey and Jack Raybould taking turns. However, once launching began, and members were still arriving (late due to delays on the M5) the decision was made to get out the other Junior as well, so the whole fleet was then in use.

Well done Dave Perriam on passing the Bronze flying test with Mark Courtney.

With circuits the name of the game today there was no winch launch that lasted longer than 16 mins. We struggled to get everyone airborne but just about managed to by 4pm. Thank you to everyone who turned up early and stayed all day, the Instructors that stepped in and helped with training, and the very effective DLM’s, Dave Weeks and Dave Cowley. - Sally Hender
