    The club has updated its terms and conditions to better reflect the environment we operate in, building on the work the GFA undertook last year when it updated its own terms and conditions.

    The updated terms and conditions are the same as the ones found on our day membership forms, with a small club specific section, All new members will use them, and existing members will see them during membership renewal.

    Recently the club received a visit from a glider pilot from Europe who wanted to fly.  The club had never catered for international pilots who just wanted one or two flights.  

    The club has expanded reciprocal membership category to include members of all gliding clubs (worldwide), existing limitations will apply i.e.

    • Current members of other gliding clubs can launch their own aircraft, and fly club two-seat aircraft, with a club instructor at member’s rates, without  paying membership dues, for up to 3 visits, totaling 14 days per financial year.
    • Reciprocal members must hold current GFA membership eg. 9 day GFA membership is available on the day for a marginal price.
    • To fly as “pilot in command” of any club aircraft and/or receive instruction, a pilot must be either a Short Term or Full Flying Member of the club.
    Please note reciprocal membership is only available online, and con only be completed online.

    Installation of retractable undercarriage in VMF was been completed, and test flown on Sunday 29th May by Tom Van Blaricum and Allen Petersen, "everything went very smoothly, the improvement in glide performance and the reduction in noise level is very marked so it was a worthwhile exercise" reported Tom.  If it was not for Tom and Allens work over the last 3 years it would not have happened, please thank them next time you see them.
