Re: [Aus-soaring] California Ridge run

[Nelson Handcock]

Reading through all the comments on vimeo, the author mentions that he's
flying a G103, and you can hear conversation under the music in a couple of
places so I think the video is being recorded by a front-seat passenger.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Training booking system and process

[Nelson Handcock]

There is an online system that seems quite flexible - I've recently started
to use it for a volunteer group I am involved in.

www.signupgenius.com

The functionality in the free version is pretty good - you can certainly
use most of it - some reporting options are not available until you stump
up the cash, and there is a limit to the number of emails you can send each
month.


hope this helps...

Thanks & Regards,

Nelson Handcock

Would love to see some comments about Avalon Airshow from a Gliding
