Airflow May 2008 - Website Recent Flights

By Jeremy Miller

Whenever possible I add a note to the Recent Flights section on the website describing activity for the weekend, or simply a nice day of flying. I do this on the off chance that people interested in our club, whether they be current members, prospective members, or potential overseas visitors, look at the website. I think that the Recent Flights section is a good location to show that the club is an active club and that great flying does happen in months other than December - February. It must be one of the best advertising platforms we have.

Recently on the airfield I was talking to a visitor who mentioned to me 'I have been looking at your website and noticed that even at this time of year there is still some great flying going on'. Yippee, I thought, the recent flights section works! Thus I encourage everyone to occasionally submit a recent flight report if for the only reason it shows that the club is active all year and has some great flying/training days on those days without 12000ft thermals. Maybe it will assist in encouraging new memberships, or visitors to come to Benalla and try gliding at our great location.

Note from your Committee

Next season there will be prizes offered for the most entries and the most kilometres entered into our online system. You will also be able to track progress at any time.
