It's amazing what a good forecast will do. First launch was at 09.19 (yes, it is possible) and there was soon a queue of aircraft waiting for the off. It was thermic by about 10.00am and a fleet of glass and one SHK set off in the direction of Watford Gap. Meanwhile, Dave Gardiner gave the guys on the One Day Course great value for money . New members Kay Watts, Mark Jones and Paul Mulherne got their safety briefing and some good flying. Miles and his dog, Riley, signed up for a Fixed Price to Solo. Many thanks to Tom Gooch for helping out with the instructing and Tony Chapman for winch driving.

A good cross country day with Chris Gough, Geoff Dixon, Simon Buckley and Mike Weston all completing 300km+ tasks, Paul Gentil doing one better completing 420km in the SHK.
