Grey day with south westerly breeze. Crossing Roborough Down on the way to the airfield from Plymouth you can see Brentor Church approx. 10miles to the north and today the church and Tor were shining in the early morning sunlight. This raised my spirits considerably but by the time I arrived the grey overcast was there as well.
There was a small number of pilots at the field so we limited ourselves to the K13 with the K8 brought out just in case it became soarable.

| Today's Visitor Martin Le Couilliard |
We welcomed a visitor, Martin Le Couilliard, from Jersey who has family connections in Plymouth and is planning to move into the area in the near future and wanted to try gliding as a way of continuing his flying; he normally flies powered aircraft. Martin enjoyed a couple of flights in the K13 during which he started to get to grips with flying a glider.
A couple of members used the quiet flying list to practice flying the K13 from the back seat. We have several members interested in becoming instructors.

The big news today was the return to the club of ex member Roger Green who has re-joined DGS and is planning to bring his ASW20 to the site in the spring.
