The weather forecast gave a weak front passing through the area with a ridge of high pressure filling in behind. The soaring forecast was not looking too promising but with an initially blue sky and warm sunshine plenty of private gliders were rigged “just in case”.

We welcome Adrian Pike who returned after his Air Experience flight last week to begin his flying training. Also joining us today was George Hardy who had a couple of Air Experience flights.

Throughout the day everybody tried to work the conditions but it never got going and the best flight was only an extended circuit. Still the private owners got practice at rigging and de-rigging their machines and a physical workout that would cost many £’s at the local gym.
In the hangar it was all go, the new K7M was washed and given a thorough inspection prior to it’s C of A and ARC renewal. There is a list of jobs to do but several of these have already been finished. It is planned that these jobs are to be completed soon. Many thanks John for all your hard work.
Also busy today was Dave Bourchier who spent the day working on one of our generators which needs TLC. He has arranged spare parts and hopes to complete this work soon. Meanwhile we will continue to use the 2nd machine
