With February upon us it is time to start planning the 2017 Easter Camp to Mt Beauty.

Easter is mid-April this year, with Good Friday April 14. Also, the Term 1 school holidays commence before Easter and end on Easter Monday, April 17. This means that only members who are not restricted to school holidays may be able to participate in the camp during the week following the Easter public holidays.

So

To make the most of Mt Beauty’s autumn weather, if there is enough interest we can place some gliders and a tug at Mt Beauty the weekend prior to Easter, April 8 so we can operate during the week prior to Easter. I have spoken to Ian Cohan of the Mt Beauty Gliding Club and he is able to support as a Tug pilot if required.

In addition, if there is the demand of enough members, the camp will continue to operate into the week following Easter.

To make it all happen I need to know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THE DATES MEMBERS WILL BE ATTENDING.

As always, Tug Pilots are always most welcome AND volunteers are required to transport aircraft and equipment to and from Mt Beauty.

To get things underway, it is important to email me at max@optusnet.com.au to advise:

·       Your proposed camp dates;

·       Your availability to move gliders and equipment.

See you there!
