Funny thing is not all clubs are declining, our club has its membership over
the last 12 months increase by 10%, I know Boonah, Kingaroy and DDSC are on the
rise as well. One contributing factor has been the increase in XC courses,
weekend training in X/C and the fact that on the downs given any weekend we all
fly set tasks – every weekend!
Maybe we should move the GFA to the true gliding hub of Activity – Queensland!
Another note, the AAFC up here are doing a tremendous job at introducing and
training cadets, every 2nd or 3rd Sunday at Warwick a bunch turn up for ab
initio flights (I towed 30 on that Sunday until we ran out of light) and 3 or 4
weeks a year they hold training camps at Warwick, all over subscribed! And 2
weekends ago we had over 60 cadets attend a 2 day event at Amberley aimed
purely at getting all the cadets a fly in either a glider, motor glider or
tomahawk – hugely successful.
I do agree however the training system needs an overhaul in that we need to
change our way of thinking to the 21st century, but the real downer will be the
cost of getting to an airfield and paying for an aerotow – all about to
increase significantly.
Cheers
