OK. Induction for new members from 7.30 till 8 pm and then the start of the pilot lectures.
It will be at Glynde Social club as usual.
For any CP wanting or even vaguely thinking of becoming Pilot rated next year over winter we run a series of 3 lectures covering the three different areas of the Pilot Exam.
And it all kicks off with Air law and navigation.
We go through each part of the syllabus to help you understand the various topics.
Its not a replacement to your own study but it certainly helps.
Even if you are already Pilot rated but want to brush up then come along.
And if anyone is feeling brave and would like to run this one for me just let me know.

Hands on XC Planning
Event type:
Local Meeting
Start date:
Wednesday, 24 May, 2017 - 21:00 to 23:00
This is a chance to get grips with various tools for planning an XC. RASP, XC planner and NOTAMs ( to name a few).
The idea is that you bring along your laptop and we go through planning an XC day. Looking at the weather, choosing a site, planning a route, looking at airspace, and downloading the route to your device.
That way you get to work through it rather than just sitting there taking notes. Its a trial run through and hopefully if there is enough interest we can use a similar format for other meetings.
It is being held at Fly Sussex. make sure your laptop is fully charged as there will not be an abundance of power points. You can always share with someone

Coaching evening for newer pilots
Event type:
Local Meeting
Start date:
Thursday, 30 March, 2017 - 21:00 to Friday, 31 March, 2017 - 00:00
7.30 to 8 will be induction for new members and this will be followed at 8 pm with the coaching evening.
Mainly for newer pilots ( or anyone who wants to turn up - but geared for lower air time). Essentially its an open question evening so you can ask what you like about paragliding and I will do my best to come up with some sensible answers. Anything in particular you want covered let me know. But I will be going over these areas:
Thermalling for beginners.
Getting ready for spring after the winter break
Choosing your site - RASP, weather etc.
Coaching and how to improve your flying skills.
Getting away from the hill/first XCs
For any coaches who can make it would be great if you can come along as well.
It will be at the Glynde Social Club.
Also, anyone wanting to take their pilot exam that night let me know
