A beautiful early morning until arriving at North Hill enveloped by cloud and murk......
So a delayed start until it cleared for a first launch at 10:45, and then we were underway and flying all day. All the Club gliders were out and in use all day with over 40 launches including 14 aerotows which kept Simon Jordy busy as were Glenn and I with the flying list.

Everyone flew by close of play with Stuart Proctor helping out in the back seat on the way home for which we were very grateful. Most members had 2 flights and there were 3 trial lesson visitors. Jamie West (son of Julian) enjoyed a family and friends with Chris Warnes.

Several private gliders rigged and flew, Pete Startup having the longest flight – no surprise there – at 125mins.

The weather was fickle and more or less back to front with what had been predicted as the sea air didn’t materialise on schedule and we had some decent soaring during the afternoon. All in all a good day. - Peter Smith
