Day Canceled!

Initially, the weather looked pretty good this morning but what were small cu at 11:00 turned into CBs by 13:00 and soon thereafter there was rain and lightning.

I received inofficial word early on that the day would be canceled which was confirmed during the 10:00 briefing. After yesterday's mass land-out everyone is happy to have the day off.

When towing to the grid, every glider has to pass over scales to make sure no one is above max gross weight. There are three scales with their associated crews to handle the 130 gliders. The Canadian Art Grant is one of the scale crew volunteers. Today, at the briefing, the scale crews were introduced and honoured. Art wasn't shy to take the microphone and say a few words on behalf of the crews.

Art Grant, a member of the Winnipeg Gliding Club is giving an impromptu speech on behalf of the weigh scale crews.
