Thursday 8th August - Course week

A lovely clear morning , and with the eager course members assisted by the Thursday regulars first launch was at 9:30am. The launchpoint was a dream of organisation with one queue for the course and one queue for club members and private gliders. Lunchtime rota was planned to precision to ensure maximum use of the course 2-seaters for the Thursday regulars. From lunchtime onwards, everyone was soaring with strong thermals.
John enjoyed his first mini- cross country flight with Wooly

Paul also enjoyed his soaring flight with Wooly
The private owners  played up on Exmoor, - 'Persistent 8/8ths and then sea air prevented tasking to the East so had some fun in our local playground. A mix of sea air(bad) and convergences(good) kept it interesting. 611, KMV and W7 played along.' -Pete St
In the evening, a group from the Met Office enjoyed some pleasant evening soaring, and the Course members, helpers and hangers-on visited The Drewe Arms in Broadhembury for the enjoyable traditional course dinner.
