I lied, Today is the last day of Unofficial Practice

The guys had a reasonable, but tricky day yesterday, and they all got home.
Today we had the gliders weighed and checked and are in the process of registering. It's always fun filling out a form when you can't answer any of the questions, what is your licence number, when does it expire, what is your radio licence number etc... So the usual haggling will be required.
Today the forecast is good, with Cus forecast at 2000m. They have set a task of 348km for Club and Standard Class. Tomorrow is Official Practice so we will be able to grid for the first time. At the moment if you tow out a tug immediately appears ready to launch.
Today we are launching on runway 22 with a Northerly wind so that will be interesting.
