A gloomy day started with lectures on FLARM, Tephigrams and Field landings. the day then offered the occasional thermal until we put most of the toys away. Then the last two launches had soaring flights of 1hr 30 (Peter Francis) and 2hrs (Kevin Russell). A fitting end to a week that promised very little weather-wise.

Achievements over the week: Roger Smith - Bronze Theory Test and type conversion to the Astir, Eric Lomas - 100km cross country experience, Caleb McKinstry - Bronze field landing checks, Peter Francis - field landing checks and several soaring flights of 1hr+, Jon Apperley - solo spins and aeros, Kevin Russell - qualifying 2hr soaring flight for Bronxe XC. Apologies if I've missed anything.

Many thanks to Mike Weston for running the week and to the club members who donated both time and motor gliders for xc training. Perhaps some real cross-country weather next year.
