Summer may have gone, but the start to autumn is still providing some pleasant flying days with soaring opportunities. There have been several NW'ly days with the ridge working and even some thermal soaring opportunities. See Graham P's trip down the Cotswold Edge on the 6th Oct. http://www.bgaladder.co.uk/dscore.asp?FlightID=34603

Dave P ran Sat with the aid of Paul F. DVX came back on line and was test flown by Paul F, before being released to service much to Martin J's delight. The winch was busy all day (thanks to Phil, Eric and Clive), and the blue skies provided excellent opportunities for high tows for stall/spin training flights (thanks to Phil M for manning the tug). There were several local soaring flights in the blue conditions which kept the temperatures up enough for shirt-sleeve order. Eric and Clive flew their Ka6, John R his DG and we had the Ka8 busy with both K13s, the K21 and I got out HVQ out to mop up some instructor Cx/training including Phil B's Annual BI Checks - Happy birthday mate!
