Driving to the airfield it looked like the weather was as per the forecast,
which would probably be a day of circuits and bumps rather than any soaring
flights. When I arrived at the airfield the chairman was already there opening
the hangar and getting the quads out. We optimistically loaded the disco up and
put a windsock up and checked the airfield setup for the day.
Returning to the
clubhouse we put the kettle on awaiting for others to arrive. Whilst drinking
our tea and coffee the Dartmoor mist descended on the airfield. So the chairman
and I set about looking what jobs we could undertake. We decided to attack the
fence trailer.

After another hot drink we decided to carry on clearing the area behind the
trailers. Now the Perranporth winch has been removed, we decided to move the
Jantar trailer down to the east end trailer area. As it was a none flying day we
then packed away ready to depart the airfield. Although no flying, there is
always tasks to undertake at a gliding club. Hopefully better weather next
week.
