| Clive takes the back seat |
It was fantastic weather for November with the early morning mist clearing before 9am. When I arrived at 08:55 only our duty BI Jane Jervis was up and busy, already preping the launch point bus and putting out the winch. New junior member, 14 year old Christian (who signed up yesterday) soon turned up having rode in on his bicycle from Shutford. Robin and Clive also appeared and helped to set up the airfield. Robin preped the Falke and offered the spare seat to our new recruit, which Christian eagerly accepted.

| How do I see the tug round those ears? |
First glider flight of the day was an A/T with Clive in the back seat of DVX with me in the front making a start on his BI training and completeing his AFR and Pax Carrying Endorsement. John D flew the tug. Brilliant blue skies and by 11:30am lots more folks were appearing, and lots of flying was crammed in to the next 5 hours, and we could have done more if we'd been able to start sooner! I flew with Geoff P and Mike C to complete thier Year 3 Instructor Checks and AFRs. Tim D, Gail, Alison, Lucy, Charles, Jon C Tez and Paul N (aerobating the K21 as usual) were amongst the others out enjoying the sunshine. Star of the day, however, was Nigel Clarke, who completed his NST and Field Landing Checks with Lee to finish off his Bronze Badge and XC Endorsement.
