With Saturday's wild weather out of the way, and with the driveway cleared, by Paul Medlock, of a 25ft vertically positioned branch a small number of hopeful members got the ground equipment ready for action.

By 9:30 a.m. it was apparent that, whilst the weather was holding, numbers would only be sufficient for aerotows so the launch point vehicle was placed by the hangar and the two K21’s were walked into position.
The first launch of the day was taken by Karen King and Simon Minson (stand in Duty Instructor) with James Flory kindly logging. Paul Medlock took the next flight with Simon, followed by David Wojnar and Pete Warren. Simon Jordy was on Tug Duty and did a few tows with James picking up the fifth one.

Solo fliers were Paul Summers and George Sanderson but with conditions such that on one of Paul’s flights it was a close run contest as to which would land first the tug (flown at this point by Pete Warren) or the glider!
By 3pm most members had, in between showers, taken two flights each with Simon and David the pundits enjoying a 22 minute flight prior to another burst of rain. The latter rainfall prompting an understandable early end to an enjoyable few hours - Karen King
