[Aus-soaring] Membership Retention.

I think a good way to keep new members is to make friends with them, call them to come out when it is a good day, get the training done as quickly as is feasible, and preferably find them a responsibility to take care of for the club. Something that suits what they are

Re: [Aus-soaring] Membership Retention.

You're right Jenny. People want to be valued, to be heard, their contribution acknowledged. Mentoring also helps, ditto a little positive feedback now and again. In my view the mentoring is quite critical at the near solo and post solo stage, when people are re-assessing their fit in the

Just looking at the document. I reckon you would be safe applying the same rules as for the boats. My SA legal trailer is stored with Ian Mc Phee at Tyagarah and is now illegal to bring over the border to my new Qld home. There may be a legal loophole in that it is SA registered as with the NSW

Re: [Aus-soaring] Gliding Australia!

Interesting comment Mike. The Jabs do seem to have a problem with engines stopping so some gliding and forced landing practice should be mandatory for any Jab student...lol The Blanik is a good trainer and fairly easy to maintain. I cross hire my Twin Astir and we use that too. We did have a

I actually agree re VW/Blanik. :] At least a K13 looks vintage rather than just old. I have met VW enthusiasts before, they make Landrover owners look normal! :] Tom From: Tom Harding tom...@gmail.com To: tom claffey to...@yahoo.com; Discussion of issues
