Hi there



In case there is any doubt:

* Dick Bradley is a Camp Director and will enjoy the privileges of a
CFI (with responsibility for Soaring Safaris operation and pilots) while
operating at the CGC
* We expect CGC pilots flying during the week to either have GPLs or
special clearance from Ian Forbes (just like we have done when Dick was not
around).
* Non-GPL CGC pilots could also possibly fly if you can convince an
instructor to take a day off!



The lawyers amongst us will recognise that the CGC pilots flying while Dick
is here are actually still flying as part of the CGC operation (not Soaring
Safari's), and that means that if you need to be asking for permission or
getting clearance for something (or are just seeking clarification), you
should be asking the CGC flying panel or instructors (just like usual).



For those interested in extending their cross-country range, Sven and I will
be doing some briefings this weekend targeted at Soaring Safari's - but you
are more welcome to attend. First briefing will be at 10h00 on Saturday.
The weather is looking a little iffy (Easterly) and I may well repeat the
session I did last year explaining the ridges in 3D using the flights of the
epic 5000km day.

There is a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an
idiot.

Hi there



For your information, Dick Bradley will be arriving on Friday (first flying
day is Saturday) with an ASH25, Ventus and an LS6, and will be staying until
3 October.



Please try to make them feel welcome, and be sure to make his English
punters feel better after their rugby team struggles unsuccessfully on
Saturday. If you have to rub it in (and massage is one of your skills), try
to be gentle.



Also consider making use of the opportunity to fly while Dick's operation
affords us the opportunity of two weeks full-time operation. Normal club
rates & procedures apply (like the flying list), and you may get your season
of to a good start.



We are hoping that if they enjoy themselves, Soaring Safaris may come for a
longer period next year, please do whatever you can to assist this.

Just because the hole is not on your side of the boat, it doesn't mean you
won't sink.
