SUMMER B B Q

Our well loved food feast is held the following day - August 6th. hopefully on a sunny westerly evening. it’s on the Long mynd and open to members and their partners. there is cake stall, second hand equipment stall, music till dawn, merriment and a raffle for the air ambulance. bring your own food and drink. last year was great, it was attended by many - and we all got to fly till dusk. how perfect was that?

1st aid course for hg and pg pilots

it’s something we all hope we’ll never need to do - but would you know how to help someone who had been injured whilst flying? having basic yet effective knowledge of first aid could make all the difference. in the autumn 2011 we will be running a first aid course aimed specifically to cover the type of injuries para/hand glider pilots might incur. you will be taught how to assess the situation, organise others and report accurate information if needed. we’ve ran this course twice now. it’s reasuring to know there are already people on the hill who are trained to help. wouldn’t it be great to have more!

Curry night

more food…yum! What better way to fight off the winter freeze. traditionally in a Brigenorth restaurant end of jan.

ANY IDEAS?

it’s all about you… so please speak to me if you have an idea for an event. This could be flying related or not - how about a club climbing evening?
