With high pressure still in charge a very pleasant
start to the day, all the gliders were walked up to the south-west corner but with
poor visibility and low cloud, we didn't start flying until
10:30.
Peter Sm had quite a queue for his services as BI
duty instructor - a task that lasted all day, and as soon as the cloud was high
enough CFI Pete managed an aerotow. We welcome back Ben, a new Junior member who had enjoyed the one-day course with Teign Academy last month.
Congratulations to Glyn for going solo, 40 years after his ATC solo.

From about mid-day it
became soarable, Tim J had over an hour in
the ASW19, JB checked out Malcolm to fly the Eagle solo.
CFI Pete flew with a visitor Mike from Southern Cross GC in Australia, who
was interested in the hand operated rudder controls that can be fitted to K21 HCX for
teaching disabled pilots. - JSt
