Well the day began with surprisingly few members on-site given the rare number of flyable days recently and due to this it forced Duty Instructor James Flory to consider whether we had enough people to winch.
Overcast skies but the field has dried (Mike Sloggett)
However, once the gliders had been rolled out and DI'd ,a few more people had turned up and the call was made to set the winch up at the west end of the field given the northwesterly wind. After a quick briefing flying began with a Junior and one K21 (another had had an issue snagged in the DI which was kindly fixed by Inspector Pete Startup and returned to service later in the day). We had one trial lesson visitor complete with family, who Chris Warnes flew and we hope to see back at the club soon.
With the benign conditions, several members were back solo after recency checks and well done to John Allan our new member from Dartmoor GS who was checked out for solo at North Hill.
