By late morning the cumulus were looking really quite attractive, and a healthly queue of private-owned gliders appeared. Unfortunately most were washed out of the sky by a large lunchtime shower. Only Wyn in W7 managed to dodge the deluge by heading out to Wellington, only to be rewarded with more field-landing practice.
Despite a few more showers most members enjoyed some local soaring. Congratulations to Paul M for his first K13 solo, and thanks to Pete St for un-U/S-ing the K13 this morning to make it possible. - Ruth
The Eagle arrived safely at Lasham for the start of the 40th Vintage Glider Rally - just getting a little wash and brushup on the way, with the rather heavy showers.
