ANOTHER Training bowl orientation 13 March 2010
Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:00 pm(new post for month of March)
The last orientation went well (Feb 6th) with 12 pilots attending. We all picked up LOTS OF TRASH and walked the entire training bowl. It was to sloppy to Hang Glide but we had fun.
Basically, the requirements to fly here are, Hang one (min) with turns and x-wind landings sign off (turn or die), sign liability waiver and get an orientation. I'll have another orientation session in one month on the 13th of March 10 AM rain or shine!
BTW, I'm looking for a replacement, I will be involved with a business venture that requires me to be out of the area half or more of the time for the next several years. In my view, the replacement should be a person that promotes the training area. My intention is to complete the liability waiver, rules and training site map before the new Director takes over, making the new directors job easier. Please talk to Allen or myself if you are interested and want to help the general hang gliding community.
Thanks
