Registration for Pulpit Fly-In Sep 15th and 16th

Post by chgpa »

[I'm cross-posting this thread in the PG forum to make sure that
all PG pilots know about this year's Pulpit Fly-In on Sept 15 & 16.

If you can attend this year, post a reply here and let us know. You'll
be considered 'pre-registered', which gets you a bunch of raffle
tickets and a price-break on the registration fee.

For general info about the Fly-In (eg, the prizes that will be available
at the raffle!), see this forum topic:

http://chgpa.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2643

Come on out, fly, and enjoy a great party! --MarkC ]


Pre-registering now will save you money and will give us an idea of how many visitors
we can expect to cater for.

Pre-registering is easy. You can either send me an E-mail indicating the events in which
you wish to participate and what type of wing you fly. Or you post here. Fees are as follows:

Pre-Registered Pilot:

$25 to enter flying contest
$5 for food
$5 for beer
-------------------------------
$35 package (T-shirt and 10 raffle tickets included with purchase of full package)

On-Site Registration:
------------------------------
$30 to enter contest
$5 for food
$5 for beer
------------------------------
$40 package (T-shirt and 3 raffle tickets included with purchase of package)

Post by Gigi »

Hi all :D
I am looking for inforamtion on paragliding tandem Sunday the 17th . I have not flown for too many years and needto get back into it but have not heard if tandem flying is possible on Sunday.

I would like to register but only if this is available nad also if someone could guide this clueless soul where to go to for paragliding as it looks lik ether is some question about sites it would be great.

Thank you!!!

Hi Gigi,

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my reply to your other forum thread:

http://chgpa.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=12100#12100

I'm afraid that there will not be any HG or PG tandem instructors
at this year's Pulpit Fly-In. :( At least that we know of.

But I *do* hope that this will not prevent you from attending.
Last I heard, there are at least 10 PG pilots registered for the
event, so it would be a great opportunity for you to meet area
pilots and get some good advice about instructors and flying
sites.

And the Sat night party, raffle, bonfire, etc is going to be a total
blast, I think you'd have fun.

Cheers,

MarkC

Kirchner's Knob Option

Post by Matthew »

The weather is shaping up a little better for Saturday. NW winds-- might be a little West early. Thus, if anyone wants to shake off the rust in either a hang glider or paraglider, they can head up to the Kirchner's Knob training hill to do some flights. It faces NW and also has a West slope. It's only 25 minutes from the Pulpit. Bring your windsock!!!!!

I heard from Janni yesterday that he's got over 40 pilots who
are pre-registered ("Count me in, I'll be there") for this year's
Fly-In. Of those, there are at least 10 PG pilots, and a bunch of
biwingual HG+PG pilots.

Just thought you'd like to know that this year's event is shaping
up to be truly HG + PG 8)
