The forecast suggested that it would be flyable in the morning but, with high pressure moving away and some wrinkles in the isobars, some rain was due around midday. Optimistic enough for 4 club gliders to be DI'd and moved to the west end of the field.
James Flory started his way through the two-seater training list and was joined by Pete Warren. James Smart flew two Trial lesson voucher flights.

At lunchtime the south easterly wind changed to south westerly requiring a change of ends just as Ian Mitchell arrived to take over. The wind change, as so often happens, heralded a change in weather with light drizzle forcing a lunch break.
With no sign of a clearance the decision was made to put the gliders back into the hangar and call an end to the day. 15 winch launches and 2 aerotows was not a bad result.
Many thanks to all those who helped and sorry to those who didn’t fly, there is always next time. - James Smart
