Some forecasts showed a positive window of opportunity for a period on Sunday. Sadly the few diehard members of the club who turned up on Sunday bright and early had the wind knocked out of them by the sight of very low cloud. (but being positive we could see the trees around the airfield…just). After some tea-drinking and many varied conversations in the clubhouse the duty instructor Ian Mitchell had several goes at encouragement to get us all motivated.
The numbers dictated aerotow only, so the kit was readied and after a short pause the cloud lifted. As the morning progressed the cloud base lifted rapidly allowing the assembled crew to keep current at dizzying heights of 2-3000ft and enjoy the days flying.

A club K21 and Junior were in use during the day and a second K21 was added in order for the Trial flight of Lorne Serna.
All the kit was packed away just as a small patch of light rain appeared.
I believe everyone on site made the most of the weather window on Sunday and used it to the best of the clubs ability. Great job all. - Rich Roberts (First time DSGC blogger)
