Sunday 2nd January 2011

The forecast was promising, but the view through the rain streaming down the clubhouse windows was less so. We had time to spend with a practical lesson in NOTAMs before the cloud lifted and we all went flying.

Quite a busy day, welcome to Henry Acton and Richard Williamson who spent the day helping and getting used to field operations. Henry Ford and brother popped in with many other pilots looking for some post Christmas fresh air.

The wave taunted us all day with some valiant attempts at soaring, but little over half an hour locally
.

The edge of the wave bar is clearly visible to the east

Well done Nigel Williamson, first flight in the K6. Of course we now expect a few bronze legs.

Scratch spent the whole day on the winch, thanks very much---that made the day possible.
