A short(ish) flying list for both training and solo flights today which was just as well because the orographic cloud was slow to clear and it was only around mid-morning that flying could get underway.
Steady progress was made with Club flying whilst various private owners were taking covers off gliders and getting ready for ‘hoped for’ better soaring weather during the afternoon.

With few members, a decision was made to stop for a quick lunch break and then early afternoon it was on with the flying, with several private owners seeing if they could get away off a winch launch - some did, some did not as the thermals were sporadic and not marked or sign posted by fluffy clouds.
During the day, James Smart looked after a booked Trial Lesson visitor and also a walk in Trial Lesson - and then completed the CFI acceptance checks for his BI Rating. Congratulations also to Ruth Comer flying the ASW19.
