Hi all,

I have just moved back to Christchurch and would like to know if there is a WhatsApp group for paragliders / club to coordinate trips, rideshare, events etc?

Cheers

Sat 25th Nov 12pm @ Taylor's mistake (weather dependant)

Come along to the clubs BBQ day. A good occasion to catch up with fellow pilots, get a feed and hopefully get some flying done too.

It's going to be done on a bring your own basis as this will keep things simple, and cater for everyone.

Partners are more than welcome.

As we are all pretty good at keeping Taylor's and our other sites tidy, just a gentle reminder to put all your rubbish in the bins which will be provided.

Hope to see you all there

Cliff, Mattias and Fraser

Hi CHGPC club members,

With the season just about to start up we thought it would be a good time to get everyone together for a catch up and also discuss a bit of club business. It would be a good opportunity to discuss any remits for our AGM in October. We have booked the Twisted Hop pub upstairs area for 7:30pm on Thursday the 7th September.

MAILCHIMP NOTIFICATIONS

All pilots, note there is restricted temporary airspace on the port hills for fire fighting aircraft. Please stay well clear. http://www.ifis.airways.co.nz/filebase/shtml/publications/pdfs/TEMP-NZR8...

I would avoid any thermal flying from the hills whilst fire fighting going on. Taylors mistake is ok. Restricted Airspace is active until at least 17TH Feb.

Hi All,

We are calling a general meeting to be held at 7pm in the function room at the Ferry Speights Alehouse in Ferrymead on the 8th September 2016 to discuss and vote on remits that the NZHGPA exec have produced. The remits include changes to the constitution and changes to the requirements for PG3 certification.

If anyone has any other business that they would like raised please let me know.

As usual the club will be putting on nibbles.

Sorry about the late notice but I hope to see you there. The address is 2 Waterman Pl, Christchurch 8023

Cheers

Hey guys & girls, I'm new to the sport and club and was wanting to do a trip next year between March-June. Have any of you recommendations of sites in Asia AKA Bali and the likes. Must be family friendly!
