The day started with an optimistic briefing from the RASP by Rick and the gliders headed out and were parked ready at the launch point.

The weather produced some interesting lift in cloud streets in what resulted in a cloudy day with a cloud base of 3000 feet.
Training commenced for new member Rita Smith with Rick and trial flights were carried out by Roger Green including Colin Grice who we seemingly avoided our photographers.

In the right places there was some very good lift which provided some good soaring flights for our visitors and a flight for Alan Holland for over an hour

A few teething problems occurred with our new winch but Scratch was on the case and a quick change was made to the Gus launch
The usual thanks to everyone who’s contribution made for another great day at the club.
