1 ASC e-news Electronic news from the Adelaide Soaring Club Number 13/ th September 2018 Hi and welcome to our latest ASC e-news. Special welcome to our newest members Megan Wainwright, Arki Hilder, Kim Wanke, Paul Huggins, John Gibson, Saxon Cordeaux, Christopher Gorton, Ben Rosiak, Waletr Caruso and Hillary Pang. Nice Deck Brenton A terrific addition to our clubrooms and thanks to everyone who has had a part to play in it. Seeking some feedback. The monthly dinner and movie nights are becoming popular, so we d like to seek some feedback on what members want. Do the movies have to be flying based? If so do members prefer documentary types of films or those based around flying? If not what sort of movies do members like? Would it be a good idea to have two movies ie: put one on earlier for people with young kids and show a kids movie first? Do members value the dinner/movie nights? If you have any thoughts, please Sylvia at Glassetch101@iinet.net.au Promotions and Marketing If you are interested in joining our Promotions team, please speak with Pete Sachs.

5 Lost anything? The office has had a motor vehicle key handed in. (Single key on key ring. Ring looks a bit rusty so may have been there for a while) It s for a Toyota & was in the grass between the carpark & machinery workshop.. Bar Manager We were in need of a new Bar Manger. But now we re not. Thanks Rob Richter for taking this on. Joey Glide Joey Glide is a get together of junior glider pilots (UNDER 26 YEARS OLD). There are 2 parts to the event, there is the junior nationals and also a coaching side to it, to help introduce pilots to x/c and competition flying. This soaring season they are being held in Waikerie from JANUARY 12 TO 19. It is great to have it in SA and gives a great opportunity for our junior pilots to attend. It would be great to have a good attendance by ASC pilots. (If SA does not support it then it probably wont come here too often). There is no doubt that the ASC would fully support pilots that want to go and aircraft could be made available. If you are under 26 and have interest in competing or participating in coaching please let me know so we can get the ball rolling. I am personally happy to attend to do some coaching in our 2 seaters and I am sure more coaches would make themselves available. Let s get a big ASC contingency together and support this event. It is the perfect place to meet and get to know other young people with the love of gliding. If you would like more information, contact me anytime. Brenton Swart brenton@addhance.com.au Please shut the gate Please remember to shut the gate if you are the last person leaving the airfield of an evening. Daryl Trigg - ASC e-news Editor
