Following a depressing run of wet Wednesdays, a small group of 'the faithful' arrived early and got the kit out - trusting the met man's prediction that the low cloud would clear around noon.
And clear it did, leaving us with a brisk crosswind and some strong but broken thermals. Everyone flew, with Dave Rippon completing his Bronze spins and a simulated field landing. Then, to prove it wasn't a fluke, he landed on the stub again on his own.
Early proof of the 'pulling power' of Monday's Open Day and the warm welcome provided to our guests by DGS members was the return of Ron Quilter from Mary Tavy. Having met many of us on Monday, he came up to the airfield this afternoon, had three flights and is now in the initial phase of his three months' temporary membership. Welcome aboard - and thanks for helping out, Ron!
Finally, commiserations to Martin Smith who, despite plans to make his first flights in the Tutor, decided that discretion was the better part of valor due to the strong crosswind and left it firmly on on the ground.
