Sunday 28th November 2010

The clubhouse temperature was -2 degrees at the start, the stove soon raised that to plus 9 degrees (almost tropical).

Light North east winds gave us a gentle weak wave up to 1800ft QFE, with a clear blue sky. The day was fairly busy with a mixture of soaring and training going on.

The "Green party" took the single seaters for an early soaring flight, just to show us how it should be done.

Matthew Mackay and Nigel Williamson flew the K8 for the first time, Nigel soared for an "almost" Bronze leg, and Matthew cracked it with a flight of 32 minutes (a very good effort in quite difficult soaring conditions).

Jacob Knight flew the K6 for the first time, followed by a perfect landing, very well done to him also.

We all retired at sunset to a clubhouse ( now up to 14 degrees)---big grins all round. Thanks everyone for making it a great day.
