Today 3 factors seem to have conspired to make this a non flying day.
1. The weather forecast included yellow warnings for floods, torrential rain and thunderstorms.
2. This was planned to be a club flying day i.e. no duty instructor and
3. Several of the normal Saturday pilots were planning to be away at the Interclub Competition at the Mendip Gliding Club.
The weather was actually beautiful, warm with about 1/8th cloud, gentle winds and signs of thermal activity for the whole day.
The competition was cancelled on the strength of the forecast so the team members spent their day on our airfield but had already planned tasks such as trailer and winch fettling so were not keen to make up the numbers so that we could fly.
Better luck next time
