Hi Cookbot Hard to comment on your thermalling skills without flying and speaking with you. The trace you posted was impressive and demonstrated an ambitious attitude. This, combined with the fact you are thinking about your thermalling skills, tells me your going to develop into a very compedant pi...

I think I need a cheesy Casio electric organ to accompany a 70's electric riff guitar for the sort of home movie I'm thinking about.

Any ideas where I can get music to put to a home movie that won't prevent it from being deleted from YouTube?

Ali

Not sure if I can make it.

Now £220 must sell.

Good effort lads.

Ali

I've managed to free up sometime so am aiming to get to the meeting tonight after all. I was planning to look at the coaching structure within the club and to go through my proposals for future coaching. I will be using my own 'development plan' as an example and hope to demonstrate how it can be ap...

With regards to first aid I personally I think that a one day course doesn't really cut it. I used this provider last time and found the course pretty good. http://lakesfirstaid.co.uk/course-dates/16hr-outdoor-first-aid-course-cumbria The first day addressed the basics and the second addressed issue...

Agreed John, it was very encouraging.

Ali

Also £18 paid by bank transfer some days back.
Ali

Cheers Ron, would have been better if you were there too.


Ali

I think the meeting officially starts at 8pm. I'm aiming to get there for 7.30. Can you bring your plan Graeme?

Ali

Good to see that your coming John.

Name amended Brian.....but I'll never learn.

It would be useful if all current coaches and recently qualified coaches along with candidates of the 'Pilot Develoment Plan' could arrive 15min before the start of meeting so that I can run through some coaching proposals with you all. Brian Day, if you are available, I would specifically appreciat...

Anyone know if flushing is going to be available on android at any point?
Ali

Sounds like you were just unlucky with the weather Chris. Your video clip got me thinking about when I was out there..... landing short on the last task cost me ten places...good times though. http://www.pwca.org/node/12264 Good luck with the rest of your flying, you heading to Canungra, Rainbow bea...

I'm driving down tonight with a headtorch, a handful of posts and some barrier tape to mark out the NHPC plot...... any takers for a lake side pitch?


Ali

All the best for 2016, hope it a good'n.

Ali

Pleased it was a good night and raised a hefty amount!!!

All hail Bill the new club Auctioneer!

Ed I think that I speak for the rest of the NHPC in saying that we now recognise that the role of safety is a whole club attitude not just that of the Safety Officer. The club is working pretty hard behind the scenes to find ways and means of preventing future accidents and the idea of inter-club wo...

Hi Folks although the committee and some of the club elders are still working on the issues to be discussed at the next club meeting I thought you'd appreciate getting a draft agenda so you have an idea if what to expect on Wednesday. Please also see the fun task (below) to get you thinking. Ali et ...

Hi Fingers (and everyone else) despite the fact that you've ruffled a few feathers I know that you and I ultimately want the same goal, to make paragliding safer for our mates, it's just the means of getting to that goal that we are in disagreement about. To demonstrate my point it's necessary to hi...

The problem with stating a max wind to fly in is that you can never (never) account for the variables. 22 mph has been stated as the max flyable wind now what if.... the air mass is unstable, the direction of the wind is variable, the pilot is inexperienced, they are light or heavy on their glider, ...

Steve In response to your earlier post about max flying winds I feel that I, sadly, have to inform you that few flying decisions are that binary, (though I wish they were), nor can we tell people what to do. What we can do is try to arm people with the knowledge to make informed decisions and the sk...

Well put fella, I agree in total.

Ali

An excellent post/question Chris. My take on this is; It hard to see exactly what the situation is in these cases as it is hard to get a true perspective on things but in my eyes pilot no 2 wins the day; 1. he appears top up when he has the opportunity, Why not?, every ft of height only serves to re...

What inspired this post Gary?
