Saturday 14th June

Forecast was not great which is why, I suspect, there weren't too many people around. We had three keen and willing instructors - Paul Noonan, Mick Furseden and Terry McKinley - so were able to fly all the trial lessons and visitors who turned up in spite of the grey skies. Chas Cook, Martin Lawrence and Dave Price managed to get some flying in, and Dave Gould did some tows when the cloud lifted high enough to make it worth while. John le Coyte flew his DG briefly, but otherwise there was no single seater flying. We owe a big thanks to the instructors and Dave P (LPC) for keeping the operation going all day......

Meanwhile back at the workshop Tim D & Andy L worked hard to get DDB online, and Colin fixed the K8 canopy before continuing with his Americas flight preparation. One or two of our Regionals competitors turned up with caravans and kit ahead of next weekend. Liz cooked an evening meal for those who could stay.
