Others have done well in competition and cross-country flying. The club welcomes anyone who wants to learn to fly gliders and experience the challenge and thrill of soaring flight.

After winter maintenance it was time to kick off the new flying season. A lovely Taranaki day saw NN with Dave and PC, reach 5200ft, and Ross in SA reached 6500ft above the slopes of Mt Taranaki. A great sight to see, checking out the ski field and the snowy slopes.
