Sunday’s weather was feeling more like October, with low cloud, a cold northerly wind and a forecast for afternoon rain.

Pete Field first made the call that there would likely be no aerotows, then stirred the troops to pull out some kit and flying began with three two seaters and one of the Juniors. James Flory, Simon Minson and Pete Warren arrived to help Pete with instructor duty. Flights were enjoyable, with a bit of ridge lift to make things interesting. Dave Perriam continued to receive BI coaching from Simon and Chris Warnes was able to offer two winch First Flights. By continuing to fly through lunch, we managed 24 flights before rain put a halt to play.
Particular thanks go out to those who helped but didn’t fly: Andew Logan, Oscar Bond and Dave Weeks, but full marks to a team that turned what looked to be a washout into an enjoyable day.- Tom Sides
