Tuesday 3rd September - Course week

The day started with mists and mellow fruitfulness while the course members spent some time looking at circuits and reviewing the previous days events. The cloud was low to start and there were practice low launches for all. Once the sun came out the sky looked quite nice, and there was local soaring for all the course members. While the Course were soaring, spare cables enabled a few club members to take a launch.
Mark E on the Course flew in the Junior, Chris C flew the other Junior and Dave C took R7, congratulations as they all joined the '2-hour club' with plenty of paperwork and signatures for the 2 hour flight towards cross-country endorsement. After a 'Welcome Break' Chris also had a 1 hour flight signed up.

Matt in ASW24 M5 completed O/R to Iwerne Minster via TivertonE 182 km, Adrian in Jantar FDX and Pete & Jill in Duo Discus OL both found the going tougher and only ventured as far as Chard, with an inconsistent convergence setting up in the light southerly wind.
