Following a slightly soarable Wednesday and a well-supported first of the season members evening, the Thursday flying list was busy as usual.

There was a slight delay to start whilst waiting for the low cloud and humidity to clear and then Pete Harmer and Mike Sloggett started check flights and training, with the solo pilots flying the Junior. Ron Johns arrived to help with the two-seater list and at lunchtime the launch point was congested with private owners.

Conditions were tricky to get away from the winch apart from the favoured few, and several took an aerotow. DD3 and 230 managed some small tasks under the high cover and low cloudbase in places.

Dave Perriam converted to Perkoz and Stewart Henshall continued his list of weekly achievements with a shiny new yellow card and winch driver signed off.
Thanks to everyone for keeping things moving and Robert and Stuart for helping out Mark with the 7 aerotows. 40 winch launches in total. - J&P
