The forecast was for soarable weather, but still with a rather strong westerly wind, but the ridge was working and there were thermals. Most flights were at the very least extended circuits with club and private gliders enjoying some long flights but all very local. It really wasn't the day to be trying to go anywhere.

| Congratulations Stewart Henshall - Silver complete (Jill Harmer) |
Flight of the day goes to Stewart Henshall (HMS) who took off at 14:58 and 5 hours later whilst everyone was enjoying the club party, he just managed to squeeze the last thermals out of the day and took a little bit of insurance along the ridge to complete his Silver Badge. Congratulations to Stewart.

| Club Party (Jill Harmer) |
So in the evening there was a Club party to thank members for their volunteer contributions throughout the year (after a gap of 2 years). A very big thank you to Sally and Bev and Team Hender for all the preparation work, cooking and serving. It was a great evening with many members enjoying the social banter, complete with a Who am I? quiz naming various members for notable events. - J&P
