The last day of May and the sun appeared to have done a runner for the eighth consecutive day! Unbowed by the grey skies, the duty team swung into action with lots of two seater flying scheduled - a day course, a number of trial lessons, and multiple club trainees. The day worked very well because a few key people stepped in to help. Bob & Jan - who had swapped with Brent for the morning lpc duty - ended up running the launch point all day, so that the duty tug pilot and lpc for the afternoon could variously drive the winch, Robin having winched all morning. Paul Fletcher who came up for a day off, ended up being number two instructor all day whilst Russell flew with the day course.

It was a busy day for the two K13s - Maciej, Sam P, Martin P all had multiple flights, plus Sam T and Lucy also flew CCC. Our various visitors enjoyed their flights, and we had a nice day in spite of little soaring. After we'd packed up the kit, the sun came out at last! Liz finished off the day well by cooking an evening meal for the remaining club members.
A big thank you to Bob & Jan & Paul for keeping the operation running so smoothly.
