Saturday 27th August

After the sun comes the weather....well, it was Bank Holiday weekend after all! 
Waited for the low cloud and drizzle to clear, then managed a few flights on the winch before abandoning our post for light rain. This turned out to be a mistake as the light rain turned into a torrential downpour, with thunder (and lightening) that caused the clubhouse to shudder, and the K13 & K8 were parked up in the top hangar. Dave H took some nice photos as the storm finally passed on:

After it cleared we brought them back down and gave the gliders and winch a good clean, then went out for dinner at the Roebuck.
 

The mystery of Smudge's kittens was finally solved! There are three of them and they are living under the clubhouse at present, unless Christine has managed to catch them when trying to get Smudge to the vet.
