A pleasant day but not exciting was the call from Pete, and once everyone had got round the roadworks both the training and single seat flying lists were quite long.

Pete Harmer and Mike Sloggett started the two-seater training with some help from Chris Wool and tuggie Mark Courtney. Just after starting there was a slight delay with an unforecast band of rain, but it didn't last too long. Winches were going to 1400 - 1600ft and careful timing allowed aerotows for practice and spin training as the cloud breaks came through.

Longest flight was John Borland just short of half an hour. A thoroughly pleasant day after so many washed/clouded out Thursdays - 31 flights in total, thanks everyone. - J&P
