Dartmoor Gliding News-Saturday 1st April 2017
So, April 1st. The one playing the tricks today was the weather. In bright sunshine the airfield was readied for action; then it rained. We waited and drank a lot of tea. The sun shone and we got ready again; then it rained. By now the already soggy runway looked more like a lake and it was reluctantly decided that this would be a non flying day after all.

DCFI Gordon was prepared for this eventually and got everyone together for a Ridge Soaring Workshop, particularly welcome as several members are off to the Long Mynd for a weeks flying on the ridges soon. Instead of the usual style lecture, this took the form of several groups of pilots working of different problems / case studies and the afternoon slipped rapidy by. Everyone learned something new and everyone took part with enthusiasm. A great event; Thanks Gordon.
As Usual the weather looks a lot better for tomorrow.

The satisfaction you get Steve from being right must be worth it. With the advantage of hindsight -the weather was a lot better Sunday. . 👏😂. Sorry.
