The weather was pretty awful early in the week. George and David Rowlings were first there, closely followed by Dave T and then Darren, Karen, James, Kieran, Josh and Cal. Later Mike, Richard and Tony joined us for the excellent weather at the weekend. We made a good showing again in the competitions, with Darren and Mike tying for first place in the scale contest, and Josh winning the boost glider contest.
