Wed 14th June

 Same old,  same old blue sky and north easterly wind, but wait, amongst the normal training routines there was a bit of soaring....

Congratulations to Nicholas Johnson for his first solo in a glider. Nicholas then followed that with an hours' local  soaring.

So back to the soaring cross-country which has been in short supply recently - Pete Startup 230 managed to get away for an Out and return to Sheborne,  "Late to trigger in Devon so a late start at 15:59. Tiptoed off into the blue (Cu still 30km away at Crewkerne), but once I got to the clouds with up to 5,000ft cloudbase, a bit of a romp. Must have been lovely up country!"

Thanks to all the helpers who are busy tidying up the site ready for Competition Enterprise, JB did a massive stint with the paintbrush on the clubhouse. Also thanks to all those who have been handling hot roofing sheets with the Club glider trailer shelter nearing completion.

Hot tin roofs! (Nick Jones)

 A lovely evening of flying thanks to James Flory. Everyone got a flight in which varies in length, even a few late evening thermals about.
