But you have to weigh up the fact that Ashley also flies there. Difficult
Having said that, Ash also flies at the Juniors so your bang out of luch
really :-)

I would but i'm a member of the 716 Airforce Cadets club in WA....
The problem i have is we are aimed at doing early flying trainin to
basically C cert , then we encourage the students to join a local club
and continue there training and further flying,
At the moment we have only instructing staff as full members, consisting
of 2 instructors, 1 Aei, and 2 tuggies in training (one being me),and 1
Puchatek, i'm at the point where i have to join another club eg Berverly
, Narrogin or GCWA to continue the more advanced flying and tryout some
comp stuff to see if i make the grade,
So its off to another club for me
What i would like to do once a tiny couple of ticks in the boxes for my
training are completed is to attend a "Coaching" type event over east,
where i can burn some fequent flyer points before they become extinct, go
for a holiday fly my guts out and hopefully pick up some finer points of
gliding over a week and a half and enjoy the sport before i find myself
doing the aei thing and hearded into the tug, and meet the other juniors
in the sport over a couple of tinnies / or reds for the older folk.
Joey glide looked like it would fit my bill very nicely obviously not
as a competitor now ... but if coaching in a twin for a week is avbl i'm
still interested.
It would be nice to fly a glider and actually see the vario go above
zero and finally break through 5000ft.... i hear its been done before but
ive never been in a cockpit and seen it when it has happened
........8-), and when i have cracked the long hour flights i always seem
to have ballast sitting behind me , which negates the use of those flight
towards my C cert..... Bummer.

Ben

Ben, i'm sure we could find something for you to do....
Why not encourage someone from your club to compete, and crew for
them!
