Thur 25 September

 The day started with a light breeze and clouds travelling towards us. The first flights of the day were Paul and his daughter, Helen Medlock, and Richard Lean doing his card checks  then a solo flight afterwards.



 

New Instructor Shaun Dayman with Jack Sewell 

Shaun Dayman having received his new instructor ratings yesterday (Well done Shaun) took Jack Sewell up for a few flights achieving a total time of 88 minutes in the air. 

 

Sparkling visibility (John Borland)

After lunch there was strong thermals and a mild headwind pushing us away from the field.

Tom Sides was in charge of the trial visitor Claire in the 505, Claire had won her donated winch launch in a raffle at the Plymtree Country Fayre. Towards the end of the day the thermals started to disappear and all the gliders came in within a few minutes of each other!

Thank you everyone who helped out today. - Jack Sewell, Junior member
