What started as a quiet morning with relatively few members soon turned into a good soarable day. The low cloudbase quickly lifted and promising lift including some good cloud streets swept quickly over from the south west.

Strong winds down the strip meant it was a blue card for most of the day, making for useful dual practice for many, under instruction from Mike Sloggett and Chris Wool. A short lunch break was followed by longer flights in the afternoon - well done to Callum Ellis and Mike for achieving the longest at 42 minutes. Thanks also to Callum for a long stint doing both winch and cable retrieve duties to help keep the show on the road. Paul Summers and Chris carried out 3 aerotows for some spinning.

Three two-seaters plus one Junior were flown, and many people had either two or three flights. Despite this, the launch point and gliders were packed away by 17:00, making for an earlier finish.
Thanks to all who came up for a great flying day - those who had trusted the pessimistic forecast certainly would have missed out! - Arthur Lean (First time blogger)
