Alphen aan den Rijn       05-10-2008

As said many times already and again I can see it outside as the left overs from another hurricane are hitting us today, the season HERE is over , but tomorrow the first competition will start on the Southern Hemiphere . The 28th Club-and Sportsclass Nationals will be flown in Kingaroy [Australia] from 06-10/17-10 -2008. If you are interested you can follow it on www.kingaroygliding.com/nationals.html [Thank’s George for the info!]

To continue with Australia, the members of the MBFC have made their decision and gliding -club will  not be affileated anymore with  the motor flying club. This will be effective in the end of January when the insurance stops. The dual seater is for sale.
The ES, the ASW 15 , owned by Dieter Albrecht [Dundee] will be “used” by a syndicate of 4 pilots and they will buy it later.
 Atleast glider pilots have been able to fly a bit after the demise of Sportavia, which was nice. The MBFC will continue as power -flying-club organizing fly-inn’s to several places around Tocumwal, as Temora and Horsham.

I HAD my interview with Michael Sommer and it will be equal  in time in Gliding International and on soaring.eu.
THANK YOU MICHAEL!!!!!
So have a bit of patience as it is worth while reading. I liked Michael’s answers so much , that I forgot to look after my granddaughter Indya , who used her time to “paint” with my brown lipstick my white bath maths and her face, she forgot about her lips!

Perhaps more news later as my grand children arrive in a minute and later I go with them and their mum to the Theatre in town.

See you later.
