The day was greeted by SW winds at about 15 knots, and low cloud and drizzle.

Graham Shead returns for his 2nd course this year and brought his son Neal along to find out if flying sailplanes is for him. Also welcome to Chris Blewett and Helen Chittock from Fenland GC.

Richard and his team set about various airfield chores. The work behind the scenes is seemingly endless, thanks again guys.

Thanks to Steve Glassett and Lesley Waters for all the help and support with the course.

After a morning of briefings the weather improved in the afternoon and the course flying got underway. Well done everyone, a slick operation meant a good afternoon of flying---and yes we did find one or two thermals.
