Just a reminder that is the "autumn" glider day on Sunday 8th Feb - starting around 9:30am. 

There will be two events on the day - one for electric gliders, and the other for non-powered gliders launched from a bungee.

If you've taken part before, you'll know the ropes, but for those that have a glider but haven't taken part, this is a fun event - it is a competition but it is great fun to be part of, and you don't need a cutting-edge glider to be competitive. In the electric event, it's not unusual for a foam glider - Easy Star/Bixler etc, to do well, and for the bungeee event, some people just take the propellor off their electric glider, tape on a tow hook and give it a go. The event was won, a year or two ago, by one of these conversions, so it is as much about getting a good glide in the right air, with a bit of luck thrown in, as it is having the best thermal soarer and the experience to sniff out thermals.
