The day started with light rain but cleared quickly. The wind was strong, being 15-20kt so the club single seaters were left in the hangar, but there was plenty of good soaring and everyone who flew had a good flight.
Dave Perkins & John W were on duty, and flew aerotow trial flights with a number of visitors - they all had very good flights, as did the visitor who flew with Paul Fletcher. Dave Price had the best flight of the day in a club glider, being up for almost 2 hours, and achieving a height of 5,300 ft - very impressive. John was able to go soaring in the K21 at 6pm.
Otherwise it was fairly quiet though a number of private owners went off and flew tasks. Graham flew over 550km in his nimbus, and Steve Tilling flew 430km in his DG800 (the 'mystery' glider being flown by Paul Noonan last w/e....identified at last!). Rowan was kept busy tugging, and thanks to Alistair and Lech for helping out.
Liz made curry in the evening for those staying around. All in all a good day.
