A very wet start with low cloud and rain. Winds forecast 220/20.
Welcome to the new course, Michael Blake, Sarah Eckereder (from Switzerland) and Bryan Field (from Greece).
Visitors from Camphill and Surrey Hills decided to wait until tomorrow before flying, a wise move.
While the course guys were given comprehensive ground school in the morning, the team were happily repairing equipment, sweeping the runway, getting fuel for the buggies and doing a myriad of other background tasks.
Robin Birch was tied up preparing the PW6 cable release for repair, meanwhile the K21 was put into service for the course flying in the afternoon.
We did manage to get a dozen introductory flights in the afternoon, so despite the weather we all had a good day.
Many thanks to Richard Dance and David bailey for their assistance at the launchpoint, along with our club regulars. All the assistance is very much appreciated.
