Congratulations
David, the positive discussion at the meeting and the
favourable comments that have since been made around
the club re your nomination/appointment attest to the
fact that you will be well supported in the role by
the club's instructors and other members. Please make
sure that you spread the workload as much as is
possible!

While
David enjoys the friendly/social training atmosphere
at Caboolture, he also likes to do cross-country
gliding when the opportunity arises.

And while we welcome
David into the role, we thank John Ashford for his
efforts as CFI since he took over from Bryan Wade.
Some will probably not have realised that Scrubby is
the only true "two separate terms" CFI in
the Club's history .... although Bob Turner did do a
six month "temporary three month" stint in
1989 to enable the start up off CGC's forerunner the
Brisbane Valley Gliding Club. Scrubby's friendly and
supportive nature along with his broad aviation
experience have been a great asset to the Club and its
members. Thanks John!
