The sky was clear blue early on, but the hangar was being emptied at 9am, by the keen members on the training list. The first launch was taken at 10.20am by duty instructor John Sillett, with Mike Sloggett taking the other K21, making a start on the two seat list. With limited numbers on the airfield, Paul Summers stepped in to do both winch and cable retrieve all morning, finally being relieved at 2pm by Dave Perriam, (with a final turn from George Sanderson). Thanks also to Tuggie Simon Jordy for towing.

A walk in Trail Lesson was given a flight, the young budding pilot went away very happy after his experience, as Jonathon Erskine paid for a second, as it was his birthday, and Paul Summers paid for a third, as he went as a back seat flight!
Flying continued throughout the afternoon, with the flying list being completed by 5pm. Everyone had a good day, thank you to all that helped on the airfield. - Sally Hender
