Sadly after my optimistic note re today and the weather then changing it’s mind for the worse…
As is often the case with gliding a day is looked forward to with great optimism based on the weather forecast, members turn up planning to fly and then the actual weather turns out to not be as good - with members then drinking copious amounts of tea and coffee whilst looking at various forecasts hoping to find something positive which will suggest flying later in the day. Today was one of those such days with the actual weather being somewhat different (for the worse) compared to last evening’s forecast.
The morning “drifted” towards lunchtime and with no apparent likelihood of flying various members left the Club with alternative plans, in some cases to win some ‘brownie points’ at home, to be used another day.

| The Club Simulator in use on a duff day (Mike Sloggett) |
Chris Warnes used the simulator to good effect with a new Junior member who had recently had a trial lesson and Mike Sloggett completed some ground school briefings.
And then it was time for the remaining members to leave early afternoon with the Wednesday evening group flying having also been cancelled due to the actual and forecast weather. Oh well hopefully better tomorrow with a frontal clearance overnight! - Mike Sloggett
