Sunday 7th March

A very cold day, perfectly blue and despite the easterly winds it was thermic to about 3000ft from 11:30 onwards.  Many flew including Team Vega (John Kinley, Will and Mike H),   JRK in the ASW19, myself in the ASW20, Tim Davies in the ASW27, James in the Cirrus and Tim Highton having his first trip in the Cirrus. 

Quite a few long flights were had over one hour, but credit goes to Chris L in the ASW19 who was the only brave(?!) soul who went cross country to Norwich - Rattlesden, AND claimed the first field landing of the year near Diss. 

We had a new member, Jason, flying with Phil (on duty).  Barry M and Geoff flew together in the K13.  Jonathan & Ian A towed and Bob & Andrew H found seats in the warm G109 to do some navigation exercises.  Cadets Beth, Josh and Murray were also out and about helping in the bitter cold.

If you flew this weekend, tell us about your flight!
