The weather is very mixed with patches of light rain all day and cloud bases rising to 900ft QFE (before going back down again). Winds light easterly.

A NOTAM creating class D around kemble active late morning.

Welcome to Steve Wilkinson and Mike Bosley both serial course members and David Hart and Mike Stringer both club members.

Thanks again to Chris Power for helping David---David has a strained shoulder and lifting cables doesnt help the healing process.

Launch failures were the order of the day and everyone practised power failures and simulated breaks and had a demonstration of an ultra low failure. Afterwards we retired to the briefing room and prepared for the bronze C paper.

Club work is never ending, Bron was in the office helping the paperwork catchup and David Roberts and Adrian Giles were busy discussing airfield management with the Farmer.
