    Thanks to Richard Traill for his work to update them.

    The club history manual has also been uploaded. Please reach out if you have a story, photos, or knowledge that can fill any gaps, especially ahead of our 75th anniversary in September 2019.

    0.60

    XOA

    *This tow rate will also be applied to MGC members towing behind SSO/KKR.

    The free glider time prior to 1100 has also been discontinued.

    MGC will be celebrating its 74th birthday on the 1st of September 2018.

    While the people that formed the club had been flying for many years prior to this, this was the first meeting of the group that decided to form the club as we know it today.  Like all pilots, they spent so long flying, it took another 3 years before the club was officially formed in the eye of the government, and the first Annual General Meeting of the club was held in 1946.

    The club would not have one of the best fleets in Australia without the selfless work of its volunteers, many of whom work behind the scenes to keep the club running, from the committee, to the duty pilots and instructor's, everyone needs to continue to do their bit to ensure the club continues to be a success.
