Thursday 7th May

Cold front passed through at first light but there wasn't a classic clearance. 8/8 cover with cloudbase 1400ft. There were two periods of lower cloudbases and patchy drizzle conveniently timed at lunch and afternoon tea.
The rest of the day was circuits with Joe Drury clocking up yet another 9 solos in the day towards his Bronze C, having passed the exams yesterday. Ian Hunt resoloed for the new season with a couple of well-handled, 'thought provoking' circuits.

A visitor on a Trial lesson said to his wife on opening the canopy after landing 'I could well be selling the golf clubs' and he plans to use his 3 months membership in ernest and bring his wife and mother for trial lessons as well.
