An improving forecast for the day meant that it would be rude not to take advantage. Brisk SW breeze and initially 7/8 cloud gave way to near blue skies by the end of the day. It was pleasantly warm all day.

We welcomed visitor Lucy Cox who was very keen to take part in a trial flight after winning the flight voucher in a charity auction. In the event she had 2 flights with IFP Fred Marks and is very keen to return for some more flying. Also visiting today was Pat Raine, wife of our Treasurer Steve, who overcame her fears to have a flight with Fred. Very well done.

Instructor Ged Nevisky was kept busy with trainee pilots John Rogers and Jorg Beasley. He also flew with Field Treasurer David Rippon who needs a check flight or two after a recent gap in his flying.

The K8 provided some sport for our solo pilots with the early leader, Barry Green, being eventually bested by Mike Gadd with a flight of 32 minutes.

Our thanks especially to Barry for his winching assisted by John Rogers and to Heather for driving the retrieve for the whole day.
