After a weeks good weather, hopes were high for the flying at the weekend.
This, obviously, was not to be the case. Friday saw no flying whatsoever, It
rained from 8:30am when the hangar doors were opened, until 5:30pm by which time
all hope of flying had been lost.
Saturday saw started with a low(ish) cloudbase with a light SE breeze. As the
day wore on, the cloudbase lowered continuously ending with an absolute downpour
at 4pm; heavy enough to get soaked to the skin in about 3 minutes flat. At this
point flying was terminated.

We welcomed 3 visitors today, Joshua Cutler, and father and son duo Barry
and Scot Nichols, all of whom received their Introductory Flights from Mike
Jardine who even managed a couple of short soaring flights. The jury is out on
what his source of lift was. Adrenaline would be my guess.

Club Flying was limited to some AB-initio training and some backseat practice
in the K13.
