A strange day at the club with yet another dodgy weather forecast, that had changed from the wall to wall sunshine to a cloudbase of about 1200ft and a howling gusty southsoutheasterly wind. So it was a blue card from the slow start and the Instructors explaining to the new members that hands on time would be minimal.

The southerly patchy orographic cloud started reforming lower and at the same time the wind sock went more horizontal, so after just 3 launches the decision was made to ping the three two-seaters back to the safety of the hangar and walk the Junior back.
Well done to Nicholas Johnson who passed his Bronze theory exams with flying colours. There are 2 competition starting at the weekend with DSGC members taking part so you can watch Dan Hender in JDP in the Junior Nationals on Glide and Seek from Saturday. And 2 Eagles and the Duo have gone to Pockington two-seater competition which starts on Sunday. - J&P
