Saturday 4th July

Another busy Saturday at the club. John W and Paul F (an additional volunteer instructor) were kept busy through the day with a number of trial lessons including a group from the Oxfordshire Women's Forum. 
Graham went off cross country to the Camp (Cotswolds) then Wisbech (Fens!!!) to avoid the many Notams (incl British Grand Prix), though cut the Cotswolds leg short as conditions weren't great out there. He reported 17kt winds out to Wisbech & back. We had another xc visitor when Gordon Craig (Weston-on-the-Green) dropped in in his LS4, and Rowan gave him an aerotow to get home. 

We had a visitor from Aboyne who wanted to so some winch training - John got lots of walking in as a result! We also had a couple of microlight visitors - Ian & Mick in their respective microlights who got diverted from Enstone, and popped in to say hello before heading back to Hus Bos.  Club members went soaring in the K8, and in Eric's case the K6.

A big thank you to Jon Luisada and Alan Chubb for running the airfield all day in place of the missing LPCs, and to Paul F for stepping in to help.  Here's hoping the rest of the week is good too.
