Dave's trip by buy and sell gliders

The news is that Dave Springford our trusty Pres is leaving tomorrow at 0700 from SOSA with the single Astir trailing behind him en route for somewhere in Ohio where a buyer has offered the equivalent of about $23,000 CDN subject to an inspection. If all goes well Dave will continue south without the Single to somewhere near >Chattenooga?< where he is looking at a less than 10 year old Junior that is for sale at $32,300. If all goes well he'll be back at SOSA, trailing the Junior, by Wednesday having travelled 2600 kms (phew). Thanks Dave.

Since we had a deposit from a previously failed Single deal of about $4,600, the total cost to SOSA for the Junior is ($23,000 + $4,600-$32,300) = $4,700.

Let's keep our fingers crossed

Clubhouse Renovations



Here is the master, Angelo Savoia at work last Friday standing on his newly laid patio, a concrete platform for tables, chairs and umbrellas ready for a new and relaxing social scene at SOSA. However be patient, we'll have to wait till warmer weather -

and someone has to come up with some tables and chairs!
