Saturday 1st June

It must be a record - the second good weekend in a row and lots of soaring to be had! Many of the club members had seen the forecast and the gliders were out in force on Saturday. Especially good news was the arrival at the launchpoint of a bright and glossy Triple Charlie ready for a flight testing. Bruno & Lucy swifly checked her out and then CCC spent most of the day in the air. Jaffa was likewise fully occupied all day. Brent, Dave P, Jon L, Lucy, Alistair, Rowan and Dave lm all had good flights. Eric was flying Cosy Pajamas. Russell went flying in the Duo and all of the DGs  were out, with Alan L, Paul N and John R . John & I flew H20 and Paul Fletcher kindly stepped in to fly with some trial lesson visitors in XX1. It was fairly windy and quite blue early on so most of us didn't do much more than bimble around the vale of Evesham. However Alan L flew a 250km task out to Abergavenny and then Talgarth, which was a great flight given the upper winds and blue conditions. Later on it got more cloudy and the pilots towards the end of the day reported excellent conditions.

Thanks to everyone who helped out during the day, and to Liz who very kindly prepared an evening meal for 15 then went out elsewhere for the evening!
