Calling all
Glider Guiders!
The next
SWIFT meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 1 at Chalco
Hills.
SWIFT EVENTS at
the COBRA field.
The Bob
Turner Winter contest for TD Gliders and E-Gliders. It will be on a
Sunday during the month with a
short notice depending on the weather. If you
are interested in being put on the
call list email Bob. bturner38@cox.net
During the month of February the
snow and very wet ground has been a
limiting factor in holding any
events. March will be bringing nicer weather
and the ground will be drying.
The deal
is that I am going to pick the Sunday when I check the forecast on
Friday. Then I will fire off an
email. If you want to be on the list answer
this so I will notify you when the
date is picked. If you know someone
without email give me their phone
number and I will call. It will NOT be on
1/21 because Cobras are having a
fun fly then. Let me know, pass the word
around.
