Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

Hi Fellow Flying Enthusiasts,

I've spent a bit of time adding and revising the site.

The add new content link has been recreated and based on your subscription status you will see all the choices available to you.

Hickson street events will now be displayed on the right hand side of the page or down the bottom on smaller screens. The time will only be visible to authenticated users who are logged in.

Please let me know if you have any issues

Kind Regards

Adriaan

Pete Marheine is looking forward to flying, riding and all the other fun things we take for granted now that he has had a hip replacement. He's looking pretty good on his feet and will get the go-ahead from the quack this week hopefully.

He was happy with our Christmas wishes and made sure I was well lubricated :-)

Thanks Pete

Thanks to the roaring success of last years Christmas Party we have decided to do it all over again. Jamie and Rachel have kindly invited us to join them at Softies.

Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Thanks to Prudence for the artwork

As in previous years it is only $15.00

It is important that we have as many members as possible for several reasons, an obvious one is relevance when applying for grants. So please help out by paying your fees on time or early.
