Originally intended to be the previous week, but cancelled due to the weather, this launch was much anticipated. As it turned out, the weather deteriorated towards the end of the day, but we still got in some excellent flying. Reasonable turnout, with Pete, Angela, Mike, Darren, Shaun, James, Dave, Mrs Dave, Lisa, Richard, Tony, Richard's friend Eddie and new member Carl, who flew with us for the first time. Carl seemed to enjoyed himself, and we hope he'll be back. Afterwards, we eschewed the now upmarket Dick Hudsons, for the cheaper charms of the Noble Comb.
