Winds forecast 060/15 visibility reducing to 15 Km showers of rain and low cloud.

This course group were not going to be put off by such a negative forecast. The day started with 500ft cloudbases and launch failure practice. Steadily the cloudbases went up to the dizzy heights of 1200ft. 28 launches later, we packed away---tired but pleased with ourselves.

The challenges of the day were increased with a farmers bale in the middle of the approach path!! We think he must have dropped it.

Our visitors couldn't be tempted to fly, they contented themselves with reading books and flying the simulator.

John was busy in the clubhouse organising floor cleaning in the showers. They really are beginning to look smart now and have been designated unisex showers. As John remarked it isn't mandatory to shower with a friend but it would save water.

The course day ended with a pleasant meal in the Weighbridge.
