Unusually chilly overnight, and some cloud at 1300ft with a light southwesterly wind, fortunately the cloud opened up at times to allow the Trial lesson visitor to enjoy his flight with Tom Sides. There were long flying lists on both the two-seaters and single-seaters, but with the hangar emptied and all the club fleet in action, we were mainly constrained by a rather slow launch rate due to landing gliders.

With Pete Harmer and Mike Sloggett working through the two-seater list helped by Mark Courtney when aerotows weren't required, most flights were circuits and extended circuits with the occasional bit of soaring.
Longest flight went to Shaun Dayman with Mark on his preparation for converting to the Perkoz - 32minutes. Stewart Henshall completed his annual Blue card checks, and it was a welcome back to gliding to Charlie Stuckey who has very nearly completed his PPL. A pleasant day but not spectacular - 37 winch launches and 3 aerotows. Thanks everyone - J&P
