A pleasant sunny day with good thermals, but a stiffish south westerly wind exactly 90 degrees across the main runway. Nigel Holmes returned to the club to try and complete his pre solo training with Patricia Homes, who we are trying to persuade to learn to fly, but she insists on only being a passenger!
First on the agenda was flying the tug to Armidale for its 100 hourly. Juho did this, despite a low cloudbase. He stayed in Armidale for the day assisting with the plane, and I flew over in the Jabiru after we had finished gliding to fetch him back.
Garry came over to tow in Ian Barracloughs 185 while our tug was away.
I did several flights with Nigel and Patricia had a soaring flight with Gerhard in the Grob 103.
The cloudbase lifted considerably during the day and there were some good thermals, but there was quite a bit of sink in between.
