LOG BOOK NZ’S YOUTH CAMP IMPRESSES THE INTERNATIONAL GLIDING COMMISSION (IGC)
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING GLIDING NEW ZEALAND
Bob Henderson, President of the IGC, was so impressed by the coverage of the Inaugural Youth Development Camp in the last issue of SoaringNZ, that he asked for the material to be made available on the IGC website. He said, “I loved the stories in the latest magazine about the youth gliding initiatives. These are exactly the sort of stories that I want to distribute amongst the international gliding community, to show them how you can develop new initiatives and attract youth to the sport!” It is nice to see NZ leading the way.
The Gliding New Zealand Annual General Meeting weekend for 2011 will be held at the James Cook Grand Chancellor Hotel, Wellington, 11th - 12th June. There will be the usual programme of meetings and presentations on the Saturday, with the AGM on the Sunday morning. Nominations for the Angus Rose Bowl, the Friendship Cup and the Air NZ Soaring Award should be lodged with the Executive Officer by 11th May. One Executive Committee member retires this year, so nominations are sought. Check the GNZ web site for more information.
