Today started with blue sky and a reasonably light NW breeze. However, looks can be deceptive; it was cold and the forecast gave a front coming through by late afternoon although in the event this arrived too late to stop the fun..
There were lots of members braving the cold and muddy airfield to take advantage of the chance to fly. One of the more notable features was the collection of somewhat strange looking headgear. Perhaps we should have a “Hat of the Month” competition.

| A motley collection of hats? Or a motley collection of pilots? You decide |
Among the 40 or so flights today was Steve Raine reaffirming his recent solo status. Well done. Also taking advantage of the day were Mike Gadd and Darren Wills, both using the benign conditions to convert to the Zugvogel and have their first flights on type.

| Darren looks comfortable in the Zugvogel. ( We must finish the painting behind his head ) |
 |
| Mike looks very pleased with his efforts. |
For some members the excitement was not quite over after the gliders were put away. Reports of groups of members extracting each others cars from the muddy car park provided a little light relief at the committee meeting which continued late into the evening.
