Welcome back to gliding! While still cold, the Sunday sun prompted a large turnout to refresh their currency. Simon Minson kept both JB and John Pursey busy with their 5 year instructor checks,

Short flights were the theme of the day, so even though only three of the two-seater gliders were in service, almost everyone had at least two flights. Sorry for those who weren’t able to get a flight but we continued flying until shortly after 5pm to get as many members as possible back in the air.

We had two temporary Junior members return after their Trial flights, and both not only enjoyed their flights but put in their applications for permanent membership. Plus to top it off, we also had a booked Trial lesson visitor. A total of 50 glider flights on Sunday (a level not seen since last August). Thanks particularly to everyone for the hard work on the ground to keep operations moving along. - Tom Sides
