Friday proved to be another good day (we won't mention Thursday), with 10 or so launching around about midday. Dave Watt, Derren Francis and John Giddins in their Venti, and Bob King in his ASW27, got round Chedworth - Silverstone (146k) in good time. On the winching side, we had 12 abinitio's out, Dave Burrett converted to the K8, and John Hunter converter to the Astir. Many thanks to John Wright (the pro winch driver) for coming down and spending the day in the back of a two seater instead, and a huge thanks to Alan Smith and Ian Smith who helped me ensure that everyone got flown.
Saturday was not so good for thermal soaring, but instead we welcomed members from all over to fly aerobatics in the Fox and K21, with many members receiving aerobatic instruction and getting a taste for learning aerobatics. For all those that missed it, we are only charging £32.00 for a 4000ft aerotow for aerobatics.
On Sunday we flew in the morning in an ever increasing wind, until rain stopped play around midday.
