A bright blue morning welcomed the Wednesday Flyers with a fresh NE wind. By 9am the training list had grown promising a busy day for Peter Smith. The field was set up for SW to NE launch runway 07. There was little opportunity for staying up as any thermals that tried to establish quickly blew away. A few quieter spells extended a few flights.

| Contemplation soarable? (Mark Layton) |
Mark Layton in Cirrus CYO recording the longest flight at 41 minutes. Two walk in trial flights from Forest Glade made Chris Warne’s day. Both were pleased with their experience. Tiverton U3A were hosted during the morning to give them a view of how a Gliding club operates, they then kept Graham busy over lunch.

| Launching into a blue sky (Mark Layton) |
They were suitably impressed with our Club. Good PR. All in all a good day although the soaring could have been better. 46 flights 13 hours. (some using engines). All safely put to bed by 6 pm.
Many thanks to Ashley Thomas, Chairman Nick, Scott Bennett and the use of Supacat’s Development shop to change out the wheels on the K21 trailer. - John Borland
