Initially the weather just did not look very promising with 8/8ths cloud and some drizzle in the air. Gradually things improved so several gliders were rigged and flying started at 1pm.

| The afternoon turned out to be quite good |
The day was planned to be a non training day but trainee pilot John Rogers turn up anyway determined to help everyone else fly. He was rewarded with 3 flights in the K13 with instructor David Jesty the best of which was a soaring flight of 1 hour 35 minutes.
Several other pilots made local soaring flights in the improving condition. In fact, the Twin Astir made 2 soaring flights around 1 hour.
Our thanks must go to Steve Raine who winched today and in doing so sacrificed his chance of flying.
Thanks Steve but next time you are flying.
