It wasn't supposed to rain until later but as the mid week group started to get the kit out it did, so we retreated to the club house for tea and an impromptu lecture on aircrew licensing. The rain stopped and although it was grey, launches were available to almost 2000', the visiting helicopter pilot also had a trial flight after being taken to the new cafe at the White Horse for breakfast. Some good flights including a surprise for Norman when the shockrope broke at 100', thanks to Ed for re-splicing it. It was almost dark when the last launch landed, no flying broomsticks were sighted! Thanks to Eric and Andy for driving the winch.
As we left a low loader turned up loaded with what looked like pallets and roof trusses followed by a forklift with more wooden frames, all which were put on the bonfire. It's going to be quite a blaze on November the 9th!
