Wednesday 21st October

Definitely a Blue card day!
Blustery Southerly wind today which gave rise to some exciting approaches and landings, more so as the day wore on but the rain that was threatened in the forecast stayed away.
The morning had the best of the day with some thermal streeting and the South ridge worked for a bit giving the lucky few some soaring.
In the afternoon the thermals became very broken and difficult to use as the wind increased and the ridge stopped working.
Most who flew the Junior decided that once was enough but John Si went for 3 white knuckle rides!
Quite a lot of K21 flying with John St, Mike and Paul back seating so that everybody could experience the conditions - thanks to them.
We started to clear the glider workshop in preparation for its refurbishment. The Club said goodbye to the old Supercat winch, to make way for a new Skylaunch. Preparations for the LPG fuel tank are underway.
