Day 1

The opening ceremony and airshow yesterday was great, more on that later.
This morning woke to thick Cirrus and Alto Cu over the airfield. It is forecast to come and go all day.
They have set an A and a B task with first launch at 11.30. The A tasks are all set tasks and the B tasks are all AATs.
I suspect we will be busy on the radio today sending information about the cloud cover.
At the moment there is the daily Team Captain's briefing, with the full briefing at 10.15.
Today was the first day that we had to weigh the gliders and build a formal grid. The weighing was straightforward the gridding was not. We only had to move twice, I think Dave and Alan had to move 3 times. Tomorrow will be better :-)
