Saturday 23rd May - Open Weekend

Day 1
A very pleasant May day, slack south westerly wind, a veil of high cloud and warm. Never really any chance of soaring. Perfect weather for a day of trial lessons.

Our trial lesson guests arrived steadily although we were running with about an hour's wait most of the day.

Late in the day, with about ten people still to fly we had a winch snarl-up and as soon as the cables were back the sea air passed through and we had to change ends. Fortunately it was such a pleasant evening the remaining guests did not seem to mind the one hour delay.

Hangar doors eventually closed at about 20:00. In all we flew 91 trial lessons, four of whom signed up to our special offer of four months' membership and a few more are thinking about it.
Thanks to H for providing food and drinks all day, and to the Club members who turned up to run the event.
