Are there any other clubs who have already achieved 70 years of
continuous gliding operations?

Hi All,
We celebrate 70 continuous years of gliding at Waikerie on Saturday,
19th May 2007. This surely is a great (among the best) milestone in
Australian Gliding.
We will see some "members" return - some who learnt to fly in the
"Primary" glider, and other's who learnt more latterly to fly in the
Twin Astirs - all able to mix and reminise. Unfortunately - due to age
or illness, there are many who wont be there to share in the celebration
- Joch Barratt, Ken Reibe, Maurie Bradney - to name just a few. 
There will be lots there who can celebrate "lots of gliding years" - Ron
Brock, Laurie English, Max Pennyfield  and Geoff Horword (OAM) - to name
a few.
 
We'll hear Martin Simons talk about the "improvements" in glider design
throught successive models of all types (gets Martin's books if you need
any enlightenment).
 
2007 marks the 70th anniversary of WGC. 2012 (just 5 short years away)
mark's the 75th Anniversary. We want to make this a big celebration of
gliding in Australia/ Look out for you invitation.
 
The "Pelican" has been cleaned and polished for the occasion. She looks
like she could beat the "best". We look forward to a great day (or two).
 
John Hudson
President, WGC.
