Happy Easter

At briefing it was revealed that the Easter Bunny had left some (chocolate) prizes for the Spring Soaring Week participants for a variety of achievements including the Buzz Lightyear Egg for the pilot with the most points on the week went to Graham Paul - "To infinity and beyond!"

Graham P was Duty Instructor assisted by Derrick Sandford and Paul Duffy as BI, with Rowan in the tug. The weather made a slow start and although it was locally soarable for a while in the afternoon to around 2000ft, with Gary B scratching out 40 minutes in his DG500, it never got anywhere near good enough to fly XC. Even so a productive day was achieved and we made the most of what was on offer.
