Weather
forecast today was a steady wind straight down the runway with the
chance of some soaring from lunch time onwards. When I arrived at the
club to cover instructing from midday the wind
was blowing more south westerly, and sometime southerly.
At the launch point we even got a little wet with some drizzle.
By 3pm the wind did what the forecast said and condition improved.
We welcomed a number of visitors:
Samuel Piper and
his dad and brother dropped in while on holiday near
Newquay. Samuel has just taken up gliding and is learning to fly at York
Gliding Centre. We wish him the well in his training.

We also welcomed Alison Bess.

And
finally but not least we welcomed Mick Allan, Mick took up gliding and
learnt to fly in Germany back in 1969. Mick has taken a one day course
and we look forward to seeing Mick back at
the club soon.

Everyone
that wanted to fly did so, with some training flights with our new
member Bela Csete. Longest flight of the day was Bob Samson in his K8.
Bob manged to stay up for 38 minutes near
the end of the day.
