Friday 10 August


Winds light and variable, becoming 020/05. RASP predicted another good day from about midday to about 5pm.

The course continued, and a number of club members came out to play. A few cross country flights set.

Some 500s were set and a number of 100K diplomas by the Kent and Bowland Forest contingent.

Thanks again to Colin Beer for taking Nigel Curtis on his best ever yet cross country soaring flight---beats circuits by quite a margin.

Well done to Tez Bowler for completing his 2 hour duration and therefore his cross country endorsement---Silver next?

The fickle winds forced a change in airfield set up, no big deal for team Shenington.

The Kent group thanked us for our hospitality, and of course it was great to have them with us. See below:



Lee,

Thanks for welcome and hospitality during our recent visit. We all enjoyed ourselves and some personal achievements.

Another great day, quite hot, but never too hot.
