Summer General Meeting

The Summer General Meeting was held last weekend 16th September and was a great success. There were 42 members who took part in a lively discussion over a 3 hour period. Dave Springford chaired the meeting and led the discussion about the current status of flying this year and how we can get more efficiency out of the flight line. One of the more interesting parts of the evening was a review of our options to aquire the next glider in the fleet. There was undoubted agreement about the merits of a motor glider in particular in the early training phases for landing and take off. Cross country familiarity would also benefit greatly according to Herrie TenCate and the room agreed. Apart from the motor glider many other suggestions were made and debated. All of the minutes are uploaded to the Yahoo Groups file for members.

Joerg talked about the mentor program and how this is of great benefit to the students. He encouraged all to take part.
