11 August Soarable afternoon and Gerald joins us for lunch
winds VRB/05 with a northerly bias. Visibility 25K. Cumulus forecast by midday.
The course were on catch-up after a wet start to the week, and were treated to perfect training conditions, flat calm.
Our visitors and Mike and John with the Arcus, waited in anticipation for the conditions to improve. Eventually they did improve sufficiently and that in turn drew some more gliders to the launch point.
The number of helpers allowed for the K13 to be brought to the launchpoint, this gave qualified club pilots the opportunity to fly.
The evening group took over at 6 pm to fly a bunch of trial lessons, while the committee gathered in the clubroom to sort out club business. The rest of us had time for a beer or two.
Gerald seems to prefer the south end of the runway, and his new friend David Hart fed him his lunch.
We look forward to a good club day tomorrow. The PW6 is back in service thanks to Robins work. We also have the K21 and K13 for the club pilots to fly---see you at the 8.15 briefing?
