Hi all At the AGM it was decided that the club would continue under its existing format. Richard and Nick were elected as club captain and treasurer respectively, while various members indicated their intention of organising fun-fly events on the slope and thermal field, sloping weekends away, and slope races.
The busy-ness and commitments of life has limited many people's flying time in the last year, but we intend rectifying this in the coming season. Please would you support your fellow club members by supporting the events which are organised. Feel free to organise an event yourself - let us know and we'll put it on the calendar.
OK, more news will be posted shortly. In the meantime, let's get out there and fly. Most importantly, have fun!
Thermals to you all...

Hi Guys,
I'm developing a UAV (unmanned model aircraft) and am looking for a place to test it.
Ideally I'd like: * a grass paddock (min 100m x 100m), preferably within 30 min drive from Chch centre (eg, Rangiora, Kaipoi) * a shed/room with power where I can setup my laptop and work, without direct sunlight on the screen, or worry that my batteries running low * (bonus) if I could store things there between visits I expect it'll be a few weeks of frequent visits then tapper off, so if you, or you know somebody with a life-style block / farm in the area of Rangiora, Kaipoi...
I'd really appreciate it if you could make contact with me; synco _at_ gpsboomerang.com, 371-7592 or 021-1825-2332. Regards, Synco Submitted by synco

We were recently invited out to CFRC’s lake Forsyth site to give Aero tow a try,
The wind was very blustery so we put the thermals gliders away and cracked out the Foamies. This day was some of the most fun I’ve had with a Foamy,
Alex donated sausages to the cause and well as a large amount of fuel, Velcro, Bungee line, and lots of time. I’d like to Say thanks Alex we had a real blast.
Just for a side note, I've added a club video's link to the menu.
