details about this year's Fly-In, I handle the website stuff and figured you might
want to know that the Fly-In website has been reactivated.
You can find directions, maps, and camping and accomodation information at
the homepage for our McConnellsburg Hang Gliding and Paragliding Festival :
<ul><li>http://www.chgpa.org/HGFest/hgfest.html</ul>The registration form isn't yet available, but when it is we'll give you a heads-up.
And while I'm on the topic of the Fly-In....
<ul><li>Remember that this is a fund-raising event which benefits the
McConnellsburg Rescue Squad. Your registration and purchase of
additional raffle tickets will directly benefit a worthy cause. And you'll
have fun at the same time, how often does that happen?
<li>We will need volunteers for the many tasks that make our
Fly-In a success. Janni will be asking for your help in coming weeks,
so please think of ways to contribute. Many hands == light work!
<li>Start thinking about teams for the XC Competition now! I think it
would be great if some of our top Region IX pilots (Ric, Tom, Bruce,
Dave P, Larry B, Pete L, John S, PK, and PG-Tom, ya listening?) could
captain a few teams, and share their wisdom with less experienced pilots.
<li>Don't speed. Don't park along the access road to the Pulpit launch.
Don't drive vehicles into the LZ. Etc, etc, etc.
</ul>Please support your club, your sites, and the Rescue Squad by participating this year.
You'll have a blast!
Cheers,
MarkC
