Forecast for some light south westerly wind, overcast day with some possible soaring and a smaller turn out due to some members being away at Duxford for the air display it was going to be easier day for all.
David Moorley was first into the hot seat. David continues progress growing in confidence with general flying and improving with approaches and landings.

After David, next was Darren Clark. Darren is a new member and is getting acquainted with coordinated turns. Julia Old, who has now signed up as a full member was next to fly with me. Julia is growing in confidence after her break from gliding and progressing well with her flying.

With time progressing and all having flown it was time to organise some hangar flights. After flying George Purkiss as a reward for helping around the field today, Freddie stepped into the front seat of the Puchacz to be flown by Steve. Meanwhile after a sterling effort on the winch I took over from Phil Hardwick so he could fly soon to be returning member Ray Boundy in the K13 for a hangar flight. After Ray was beaming realising what he has missed whilst away on his travels recently.
A small crew today that made the most of things.
