How to get the most out of your sites
Event type:
Local Meeting
Start date:
Thursday, 29 May, 2008 - 20:00 to 22:00
The next club lecture will be at Glynde Social club on Thursday May 29th starting at 7.30pm.
This will be a Southern club sites Guide given by Dave Massie
Dave will be talking about how to get the most out of the sites, such as the Brighton run/ Truligh run / Ditchling ridge run / Firle run and so on.
He will also be talking about some of the dangers and what to look out for and how to get the very best from the sites in general.
This I believe will be a very valuable talk to us all and especially to the newer members.
Dave has also been one of the people who put together the new club website and has spent many hours working on it.
He will also have a computer with him and be able to answer any questions about the new site and hopefully sort out any problems you may have had with it.
So something for everyone and cheap beer as well.
Hope to see you there.

The fine art of thermaling
Event type:
Local Meeting
Start date:
Thursday, 24 April, 2008 - 20:00 to 23:00
The next club meeting will be held (as always) at Glynde Social Club on Thursday 24th April at 7.30 pm.
This will be a lecture about thermaling and XC flying by Mark Watts
Mark is an extremely well known and competent XC comp pilot and his flying achievements are far too numerous for me to list here.
Most SHGC members will have seen Mark fly even if they don't know him personally (he will be that dot in the sky).
If you have ever wondered how he does that then this will be your chance to ask him.
All members welcome
