Sub-zero air temperature and ground frost at daybreak were novel. A good crowd at the Club and thanks to the regulars the gliders were basking in the sun before 09:00hrs.

Morning briefing covered the likely weather as usual and also the addition of a “turning r/l base” radio call. The importance of accurate downwind calls was also emphasised, – those to be covered by an appropriately modified call.

| North Hill in the late afternoon shadows (Peter Smith) |
Off into the blue sky and morning sun we went, no helping lift but lovely views. So it remained all day until misting canopies brought it to a close at 15:30. A really good day for the latter part of November with 27 glider launches.

| Welcome to Instructing at North Hill (Peter Smith) |
We welcomed Andy Pincombe on his first instructing day at North Hill and hope to see him frequently.
