Firstly please do not i am moaning about the venue it was excellent.
I believe the heavy cold downpours of rain hitting the building
created a less stable and bouyant air. Saturday the rain was less and
was more stable as a result.

Yes i honestly thought i was going to ground out on that flight. It
was knocked down some 4-6ft with a cold draft which pushed it too
close to floor.

what really impressed all of us from GBR was the number of junior and
younger flyers. Keep up the great work
