We'll get a dedic ated UWE instructor for the weekend to make sure that we can fly as much a s we possibly can. If conditions allow\, we should also be able to have ex tended soaring flights and possibly some cross-country experience in the D G500 cross-country training glider! \n \nWe'll stay at the gliding club for the Easter weekend\, either in tents or the club's bunk rooms. We'll l eave UWE at 08:00 on Friday morning\, allowing us to fly all of Friday\, S aturday\, Sunday and Monday. Don't worry if you can't be there for the who le weekend\, just tell us which days you can go so we can organise transpo rt. \n \nGliding is a collaborative sport\, so when you're not flying\, you'll still be out in the open air helping to run the launch point. This will include launching the gliders\, operating the radios and signals\, le arning how the winch works\, and retrieving cables and gliders. The CGC me mbers are keen to pass on their knowledge and experience - if you want to learn how to do something\, just ask! All of these activities are interest ing and fun\, and are a good way of getting to know the other members at t he club. \n \nAt the end of the day\, we'll pack the gliders away and he ad off to the bar. For meals we'll try to sort out a BBQ for at least one of the nights\, otherwise we'll go for a curry or a roast at the local pub . \n \nIf you think you might go solo during the weekend\, you will need to provide CGC with a medial certificate. Please contact the committee fo r more information. \n \nThis is going to be a great weekend! A chance t o do loads of flying and meet some new people. If you want to go\, please sign up now!
