Wednesday 17th July

Same hot weather, but today cumulus formed over the airfield. The whole club fleet was soaring and a few private owners headed off to Salisbury. Most found the Blackdowns as an island of soaring and decided not to leave the high ground. Pete St 230 Discus and JB Ventus found the conditions heaving further east, on their trips to Salisbury and back

Congratulations to Mark L Cirrus 477 for his 5 hours landing at nearly 19:30, and to Anthony B in Astir 375 for achieving his 3rd silver height in two days without a working logger.

Congratulations to Chris Cov for passing Bronze exam, and also to Matt Sm who completed his Nav test in Rotax Falke with Ian, and passed his Bronze exam.

Meanwhile Peter Sm and Adam were walking round the airfield in every direction from K13 launch failures for BI course.

Adrian P spent the evening changing springs on the Disco, and the evening group enjoyed the late evening sunshine.
