GOULBURN VALLEY SOARING OPEN DAY AND FLY-IN! Goulburn Valley Soaring is set to become an innovative part of gliding in Australia. Previously known as Mangalore Gliding Club, Goulburn Valley Soaring commenced operations earlier this year at its new gliding site at Wahring in central Victoria. Conducting a safe and sound operation on a secure gliding site, the club is now well and truly open for business. An OPEN DAY is planned for the 18th and 19th of October to kick off this year's soaring season and you are invited to join in the celebration of this significant event.
The Open Day and Fly In will be a community based event with an aviation focus. We are keen to promote gliding to the local communities of Nagambie and Shepparton. To that end we have invited a number of community and service groups who will be catering and providing other services on the day and conducting various fund raising activities. We are also keen to promote aviation in all its forms and to showcase gliding to our powered colleagues. There will be aviation activities happening on the hour every hour on both days. A concert has been arranged for Saturday evening featuring two live bands and a fly-in breakfast is planned for Sunday morning. Accommodation is plentiful in the local area and ground transport is being arranged for those who need it. Several gliding clubs have already indicated their interest in being involved and we are expecting a diverse range of gliders to be available for Air Experience Flights and demonstrations on the day. There will be winch launching and aerotowing as well as self launching motorgliders. We are also planning an auto-tow demonstration. Our aim is to conduct a safe and interesting aviation event that will promote gliding to the wider community and build relationships with other aviation-minded groups. Come along, enjoy the atmosphere and the flying and help us celebrate the launch of a new gliding endeavour. Share the joy of flight with Australia's newest soaring group. This should be a fun week-end but BE WARNED we are not having a jumping castle For any additional information feel free to contact any of the above CC'c Garry Sharp Goulburn Valley Soaring
