Saturday 24th January 2010

The weather was very pleasant for the time of year. The wind was about 8 knots from the north west , blue sky with scattered low cloud.

A very good turnout with lots of members at the club early ensured the equipment was out ready to go in double quick time.

After a short delay whilst the very low cloud buned off, flying started with enthusiasm. There was a little bit of ridge soaring on the north edge of the airfield; Chris Matten even managed to find a thermal.

There was a lot of training flights with several members working on the General Flying Tests for their Bronze
"C" badge.

On the ground several members continued with their winch training. Thanks Bob for spending most of the day as winch instructor.

The equipment was eventually put away as the sun went down followed by tea and biscuits in the clubhouse.
