In the evening the impromptu BBQ, organised during the week, was enjoyed by all; the only casualty being a single sausage that was much enjoyed by the dogs.
Saturday 3rd July
A classic English soaring day: that's to say thermals formed, overdeveloped and spreadout which made getting away tricky. It looked better up country, Jim zoomed 737 up to Norman Cross (I have no idea where that is either) for 300km out and return whilst the Janus and Duo also went somewhere. Closer to home Richard claimed a 2hr xc endorsement flight and Steve G escaped from the winch for a bronze leg.
Phil test flew the Sport Vega and then opened it up to the proletariat. James H obviously liked it more than the blown Pajero turbo and completed an hours soaring in it.

> Inter Chris NHL-STU-TAUnton-NHL (145k),landed TAU 122k;
> Novice Steve had NHL-BEAminster-STU-NHL (138k), landed BEA (38k) in the sea air.
Thanks to Alan for retrieving Steve, and Jo&Tim for retrieving Chris.
Unfortunately, there were a few missed TPs and airspace busts by most if not all teams, so we await the outcome of Stewards' Enquiries for results.
Was great fun, tried to keep myself amused by going from thermal to thermal on each and every side of the airfield...

Was great to share a thermal with a couple of friends I used to paraglide with and had txts later in the day asking whether i was the tosser waving like an idiot from within a K13...
I am now banning myself from solo flights over 15 minutes as I think to get that pesky Bronze out the way I will need to sharpen up my circuits.
