The second day of the AD hosted Rock Polishers dawned slightly overcast but with signs of improvement. As well as our three intrepid comp pilots, Tim Barnes (pundit) Tom Gooch (Inter) and Robin Davenport (novice).Several non competing members decided to join in the fun and go for one of the three tasks set. Unfortunately the day did not deliver in terms of a sky full of brilliant lift, although the clouds, like sirens, were tempting you into a false hope of 6+’s .{This was probably due to wave influence] at least that is what we, (those that didn’t make it back, are sticking to.} So it was a day of land outs and frustration, but, that is gliding. The land out role call (and apologies for missing anyone) was………………..
Robin Davenport (who had the bonus of some fresh beans Near AD)
Tim Barnes (who managed to land [impressively] between lots of bales! Near Highworth)
Tom Gooch (4th out landing in four flights but did complete most of the task, unfortunately landed at SH after the tug pilot had gone home)
Myself and Sarah Z ( landed at Sand Hill, while there was a tug pilot on site , [had an ice cream] and took an aero tow back)!
Rob Corbin (landed near Sand Hill late so assume he did well? )
Note: This is not a comprehensive note on the Rock Polishers results, these will be published in due course.
