The early morning mist gave way to a brighter morning. A good show of members from first thing and we had DIs done on the K21s, a Junior and the Perkoz, and the field set up before morning briefing called for 09:30. Aside from the usual business we revisited the plan consequent to the letter of agreement with Dunkeswell and Skydive Buzz. JB was involved in the original version and was able to add some background.
Peter Smith asked for preference on the timing of future Wednesday morning briefings and a show of hands declared that henceforth it will be at 09:30.
Short flights were the order of the day with only Gordon Hutchinson and Roger Ellis managing double figures from a winch launch. The conditions suited several members keen to renew their winch launch skills which kept instructors John Burrow and Peter Smith busy. Many thanks to JB for stepping in, it made for a pleasant and successful day. Paul Summers flew the only trial lesson booking in the Perkoz. It was nice to see Peter Warren back in the air, but not even he could manage to soar the south ridge. 35 flights in total.

We had a very sleek and shiny late afternoon visitor, originally bound for Branscombe then Farway but both were in the sea mist. Jonathan May being well familiar with North Hill from tugging for Comp Enterprise and other visits diverted to North Hill and asked to stay the night, which we were pleased to agree. - Peter Smith
