Light westerly wind with a mostly overcast sky did not promise much. But in the event how wrong can you be.
We welcomed Matt Funnell to the club for a one day course who, in fact, recorded the longest flight of the day with 43 minutes with instructor Ged Nevisky. 16 year old Simon Thornton flew his first solo today and not to be outdone so did Mike Gadd. Rick Wiles was passed to fly “Friends and Family” and promptly flew son Matthew around. Congratulations to all of you.

Meanwhile, it was a busy day in the hangar with Martin doing C of A work Chris Kaminski’s Pirat and Chris Matten’s K10. John and I were busy fitting the K8 with it’s new parts freshly arrived from the German manufacturers. This glider is expected back in club service soon.
