A pleasant day with almost 100% cloud clover and very light wind. The winch cables were inspected and all swages cut out and replaced. When operations began they were on Runway 11 near the hangar so it was easy to get the Puchatek and pie cart ready for the day. Michael and Matt Scutter were up to try out their brand new memberships and get rated on winch launching (they both have been flying at Gawler on aerotow). Although all the flights were circuits the conditions were very smooth and pleasant to fly in. To the East the air looked quite unstable with a number of thunderstorm like clouds on the horizon.
At the end of the day David Conway, Anne Philcox and Redmond (the Prez) turned up from their exciting day out at the SA Gliding meeting at Balaklava. Derek duly fired up the BBQ for dinner and we all sat around the fire watching wind turbines explode (on YouTube).
