It was a quiet day at the airfield, with only a handful of members turning up. However, those who did, made quick work of setting up the ground equipment, ensuring everything was ready to go in no time. Once a ‘responsible adult’ arrived to oversee operations, we promptly brought out the gliders. With KEK still awaiting its much-needed part, we prepared HCX, the Perkoz, and the single Junior for the day’s flying.

Paul Medlock continued his BI training under the watchful eye of Simon Leeson, while James Flory managed the training flights. Stuart Thomson celebrated his return to solo flying after a break since August, shaking off the cobwebs. Meanwhile, Chris Woodward and Tom Gunner in the Junior tried their best to stay airborne as long as possible.

As the weather began to deteriorate, the group decided to call it a day and head to the clubhouse for a well-earned lunch. Vicki had prepared a delicious selection of treats, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Unfortunately, the weather didn’t improve after lunch, so we packed everything away, leaving the equipment and gliders ready for another day. Hopefully those that didn’t get to fly, will be back up soon.
LRD was dutifully rigged again and hope to have it back in action in a few days. A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the most of the morning. Even when the skies didn’t cooperate, the camaraderie and teamwork shone through. - Stuart Thomson
