The money is there to benefit all pilots, not to be used for a commercial venture or to support one. If providing equipment which helps new pilots get into the air safely in your eyes provides an opportunity for litigation, then the purchase of a second hand paramotor, which are sold by unregulated ...

So, other than fly in higher winds,,,,whoop di doo, what can be done on an ENC or Nova Phantom that can't be done on an ENB or ENC for that matter? You could argue that the pilot that goes on the ENC is just making things easier for themselves because they haven't got the skill to complete the same ...

The problem with the next agenda is,,,,Christmas dinner,,,January cancelled,,,February... Getting to late. After all the interest on here, I really don't think it's worth it!

Sorry Brian, haven't got back to you. It's not really a holiday I would want to go on, I was hoping to meet up somewhere but that is to far south west for me. Has anyone ever flown around Clermont Ferrand in the Central Massif of France? There's a site there with 360 degrees of take off option and i...

When we looked at funding applications a tow was mentioned. I did a lot of work getting prices, courses etc. When it came to the final decision to purchase one Ali and I were the only ones in favour, most said it would never be used as no one would do the winch operating and Ronnie said there wasn't...

Funding expenditure
I'm sure you'll have read, / heard we have a £1500 funding grant to spend on equipment for newly qualified pilots to borrow in the short term until they can afford, gain the knowledge to purchase their own. We need to make moves towards buying the equipment so that we can provide evidence of purchas...

Salomon contribution to the club auction....worth a look!!!!
I asked Simon if he had anything for the club auction,,,,I have to say without much conviction this year. I've just received a text from him at Heathrow on his way home. "I've got a Suunto Watch for the paragliding club for you" Eh???? Not sure of the exact details yet, or if I'll have it ...

Having dealt with it all myself in a very volatile workplace, I understand everyones concerns and have hated being part of it in the past. However, these documents may eventually serve to protect us all. You only have to listen to the news, everyday someone is being accused of things they mayor may ...
Thank you
Thanks to everyone for the lovely flowers for Julie that arrived this afternoon, a great thought that is really appreciated by both Julie and I. Julie is making slow, but steady progress, managed to climb the stairs yesterday and almost to a stage of walking short distances on her own, it's really j...

Tall Ships fame at Blyth
A lot of large 2m x 1m prints have been put along the railings of the harbour commission in Blyth to make the place look good for the Tall Ships regatta this weekend.
