Bank Holiday Monday: 25th August

An enjoyable club day that produced more than it initially promised. The Bank Holiday weather started dull, but gradually got better throughout the day. There was some gentle local soaring this afternoon for those who were in the right place at the right time which kept most pilots interested enough to take a second launch and keep the treasurer happy. The winch had a busy day, and assisted by the moderate SW breeze produced launches of 1500ft+. The DG 1000 drew attention and went up the wire with ease. Some of us were even lucky enough to see the Red Arrows from the air performing their routine at the Eye Show.
