Same again, except 15s at the front this time. Set short task up to Banbury and back via Bicester then scrubbed. Half a dozen of us took a launch anyway and it was probably the right decision as there was just a knot or two up to a hazy cloud base at 1,800ft or so. 20+ gliders in the start zone would have been problematic.
A couple of Opens went on task and we saw at least one come back. Tim Jenkinson proved once again what an arse he is by barging onto the front of the launch line ahead of all those who were queuing nicely for a tow without the launch marshal's permission and then refused to give way when challenged. He thinks he has a chance of representing the UK in the British team but forgets that you need to be voted on the team by your peers. Even if he were a good enough pilot I doubt anyone is going to vote for him!
Rant over. More of the same today. On the upside, the shorter the comp the greater the chance of J1M doing well!
