Due to the prevailing wind direction Beeding Bowl was selected as this morning's flying site. The weather forecast was not great with rain showers expected early on but getting brighter later in the morning.

By the time I arrived Rob S (Club Chair) was already out flying but quickly return to the comfort of his car as another rain shower came across the slope. Once this passed I joined Rob back out on the hill. Looking towards the west more heavy dark grey clouds were approaching. Rob was flying the Club trainer and I as usual brought along my Wildthing.

Mike G was next to arrive with his modified Wildthing and a rather natty camping chair due to the weather conditions he decided not to fly his model. Mike H brought his Venom but enjoyed some instruction from Rob using the Club trainer.

Richard W produced a number of aircraft this morning including a rather nice Kulbutin, a Phase 6 and a Wildthing - they all have a gyro fitted. Robin S attended with his Aztec and also provided some instruction using a Wildthing.

Just as the early arrivers were about to leave for lunch Paul H turned up. Apparently, a road he uses to get to Beeding Bowl was closed so he had to circumnavigate most of West Sussex to be able to join us, well done Paul for his perseverance. By the time we departed we had blue skies and the wind had settled to a steady 18-20mph.
Another reason for this morning was to meet up with a potential club member which then turned out to be 2 potential members, welcome to Robin and Ian.
In summary, 7 club members were out flying this morning. My thanks go to them all for their excellent company this morning and I am looking forward to getting out again soon.
