Winds fresh northerly with the windsock flicking around between northwest and northeast. The skies were gin clear and the temperatures fresh!

Welcome to Anthony Bradford and David Sharp who joined us for a day course.

In the end, we used just one glider all day which flew over 20 flights, with each landing testing the pilots cross wind landing skills. Just a little too challenging for our early pilots.

Thanks to Rick and the winch team for working so hard to keep the flying going, good to see Mike Gadd having a go at winch driving. DMX vanished off to Dunkeswell for its annual review thanks to Martin Smith.

Meanwhile the Green Party started levelling the ground by the trailers, hard work but definitely worth it.

The woodburner was “fired up” turning the clubroom from a fridge to a cosy retreat. We now need more logs.

Don’t forget the clocks go back tonight.
