A windy day, rather more than the forecast suggested, prevented 2 of the 3 trial flights from taking place but otherwise the day was bright and sunny, with cloud that looked full of promise.

| Launching (Mark Layton) |
Only one K21 was towed to the west end along with the DG505 and Junior. The day was mainly Blue but reduced to Yellow later on which meant that early solo pilots flew with instructors, but there were some reasonable times for Club and private gliders.

| Interesting cloudscapes (Mark Layton) |
The cloudbase started at about 2000ft but quickly rose and by the end of the afternoon, some gliders climbed to over 4000ft AGL.

| A beautiful sunset at North Hill (Lisa Humphries) |
At 17:30 the Members Wednesday evening group took over and flew until a beautiful sunset - in total there were 48 winch launches today. - Chris Warnes
