The weather today was calm and training flights started as soon as the cloud cleared the hill. The cloud base rose during the afternoon and became soarable.  Mike H flew in the Vega and Ian did 2hrs in scratchy thermal in the ASW20, and all the club gliders flew (2 x K13, K21, Junior and K6).  A total of 22 flights with average flight time 27minutes.  Not really a classic day, but it was good to see so many club members turn out on a Friday with an average forecast. 

Flying stopped around 4pm shortly after Ian's landing and suddenly the heavens opened and everyone got soaked including Buster who had been tied to the fence! Eventually in the rain the hangar was packed and gliders staked out overnight. 

Mike H started out on the long journey back home, the rest of us visited the Castle Inn at Pengenfford to end the day in the dry and warm, with good beer, hot rocks delivered to the table to cook steak on and double size pudding -  John K even secured a future cheese and biscuits booking!

Forecast for tomorrow is for flyable conditions but the wind probably wont be more than a few knots, so probably the same as today.
