With a poor forecast for Thursday, the Chairman called an Ad-Hoc Day for Friday with blue skies and light winds and the ridge should be working again. The forecast turned out spot on and a reasonable number of members and instructors were able to change plans to get some flying in the pleasant conditions, thanks to Guy Adams for picking up the duty.
The two K21s and a Junior were flying all day, including well done to Kevin Fairburn for getting solo again, and Shaun Dayman enjoyed some Instructor training with Chris Wool.

Private gliders of Pete Startup 230, Wyn Davies W7 and Eric Alston G29 all had long ridge flights and at times there were even a few thermals kicking off.
End of a great day (Paul Summers)
