Just a thought if anyone is interested in the Southern end of Wales. I am a member of the South Wales Gliding Club and can arrange a flying event if anyone is interested when the weather is a bit warmer. Pricing is fairly cheap roughly around 15 pound for 2 winch launches lasting as long as the weather permits and dependant on numbers. Anyone intersted please let me know and we can set a date. (Not for the faint hearted)

I will give directions and postcode etc when we have a few more numbers.

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

On 24/04/10 There is the Bristol Auto Moto Festival - I and a few others are attending. BAMF On 25/04/10 There is a Brecon (South wales) Meet. Wales Meet (Brecon) You may not wish to clash with this weekend, however I guess this will be decided by what the flying club can accomodate? Otherwise count me in

Just had a response and found out that the price is actually £33 for 2 launches. very sorry my mistake, should have checked before.
I have been notified that if there is more than 12 it will have to be 1 flight each because of the time scale but this will obviously be cheaper.
If anyone is still interested please respond to this message or contact me to my inbox.
Rob.
