Club Coach Armbands

Created on 2010-01-18; updated on 2010-01-18.

We now have many coaches within the club, and it is likely that someone on the hill will be a coach on almost any half reasonable day. For any pilots, and that includes the more experienced amongst us, if you have any queries, site, weather conditions, tasks, techniques, confidence or any other thought. Please ask around for a coach - see the Long Mynd noticeboard for names and mugshots. Coaches may have the yellow armband on if they feel like it, but please do ask their help or advice even if they are without the armband.

We have coaches of different skillsets and experience, and will be able to find someone that can help or advise accordingly. We would like to engage pilots prior to turning up on the hill, to discuss how they can get the best out of their time and progress safely and with as much fun as possible so please do contact a coach (phone or email) and you will be most welcome to their time and knowledge.
