With a positive forecast for the day ahead, the course members were keen to get flying. With all vehicles and gliders ready for 9:30, flying commenced around 9:40.
Westerly light winds and a developing blue sky, a handful of private members turned up and began to rig their single seaters. The first three course flights came back swiftly due to it being fairly early in the day.

Ambitiously Sir Chris Colville decided to take the Junior for a launch and achieved 64 mins! From then on everybody managed to soar and get away meaning the ground became quiet .
Breaking the silence Pete Startup, Dave Perriam and Robert Lee all launched within the space of half an hour and all achieved over 2 and a half hours ! Thank you to everybody who helped out today to get the gliders turned around quickly. Also thank you to the Instructors for making sure everyone had some good flights today! - Luke Stabb (Junior member)
