Thur 19th June

Maybe they were deterred by the hot weather and the prospect of a long trudge up to the west end of the field for the forecast easterly wind, as the number of members present was somewhat smaller than normal for a Thursday.

The initial plan to just do aerotows only was yet again thwarted when the EuroFox failed to play ball with it reoccurring mysterious ignition fault. The winch was brought into action and with Callum Ellis and George Sanderson doing long stints before and after lunch we just about managed with the numbers we had.

Flights were relatively short with some a bit longer as the thermals, although keen to start, never really got going. The EuroFox made an appearance mid-afternoon after some fault-finding (thanks to the Team) to complete a couple of tows - but come 16:00 hrs everyone was feeling the effects of the heat and were glad to pack up before retreating to the clubhouse. A good day was had by all! - Mark Layton
