Sunday 25th September 2011

The day started off with poor weather, allowing for a team of hardy members (including the CFI) to wash the K13 DMX. After a call to Brentor at 1030 to check on the state of the weather, Dad and I decided to make our way to the club.

As I arrived with Dad at about 1100, DMX was on the wire for the second launch of the day. There were good number of both members and guests waiting for trial lessons at the launch point and with a total of 5 booked it was going to be a busy day for the instructors. Martin Cropper took the trial lessons, whilst Don and David Jesty were on hand for member’s training flights.

With more people flocking to the club with the advent of better weather, K13 BVB and K8 DWG were both towed to the launch point. Dad and Jacob Knight took the K8 for a few flights as the rest furthered our abilities with the instructors. A few short-lived soaring flights were achieved before conditions deteriorated. All in all, a good day’s flying was had by all!

Many thanks to Scratch for his hard efforts on the winch, despite numerous cables going into the next field.

PS. Dad will be attempting to quit smoking on 4th October (His 50th Birthday), so no pressure!
