Sunday 29th July 2012

Heavy showers associated with a trough prevented an early start. But once that had cleared there were really excellent soaring conditions with nice streets forming.

The trial lesson queue had backed-up a bit due to the earlier showers so Martin Cropper and I concentrated first on flying them all. They all left with big smiles which is how it should be. 

The only ab-initio member present was Val who joined the club a few weeks ago. I did a few flights with him giving him plenty of stick time to practice his turn coordination.

But where were all the budding cross-country pilots? One could have probably flown 50km upwind without even turning. Another wonderful day not utilised!

Thanks to all who helped.
