A great day with sunny weather at last at the airfield.
The duty crew of Barry McCarthy, Mick Moloney, Neil Muspratt, Mark Thompson and myself were there early to start the day.
We were joined by a number of members out to enjoy the blue skies.
Bernard (Speedy) Gonsalves and David Guzzwell had the IS-28 service completed and it then joined the flight line with four gliders in total providing service.
Bob Turner gave two grandsons a gliding experience.
Chris Weir and Karl Bodi gave the Libelle trailer some maintenance.
David Higgs and Chris Weir took QA for some thermalling practice.
David Crocker and Florian Poff continued their training.
Rod Wilson reacquainted himself with the Blanik. 
Neil Muspratt had no AEI flights so thermalled for over an hour in the Libelle.
All in all a great day with 13 flights.
