Sunday 27th May 2012

Could there be a more different day than yesterday? Today started with overcast sky and virtually no wind.

Just as the gliders were positioned at the launch point it started to rain. With no wind the shower took a long time to finish, just occasionally easing to tempt someone to start wiping-off wings before resuming.

Then the clearance came, followed very quickly with booming soaring conditions for a while before over-developing.

Mike Sloggett helped out with some trial lessons and used the K8 to catch up on some solo hours. Various members flew instructional exercises and  Nick from Eyres Field in Dorset visited to add a K7m and Brentor to his logbook. Martin Cropper did all the winching (thanks Martin). Then the sun came out again while we put the toys to bed.

Another very pleasant and interesting day.
