Well it certainly felt like it! Blue skies, cumulus and a long launch queue - it could've been a classic summer's day, but this was only January. Over 50 launches were done with 2 PWs, 1 K13, the Ka7, Ka8 and Dg500 all taking to the skies. Private owners included K21, ASH25, Capstan, Skylark, DG300, LS6, ASW20, Squale & Ventus. (did I miss anyone?) Longest flight only 11 minutes, except for Mike in RB who motored off to find enough thermals to stay up for over an hour. The viz was great so well worth a launch for the view. On the training side, we had a one day course member enjoying himself and a first solo by Claude Hoarau after only 26 flights in a glider. (but he does have a PPL so had a head start. )
