| A new club with a
brand-new website to promote it.
 Sandhays
Scale Gliding Association is a new model flying club that meets and
flies from a glorious 14-acre countryside site in north Lincolnshire,
England, not far from the town of Bishop Norton.
Contrary to what the club name may suggest,
Sandhays SGA is not exclusively scale gliding, but is "dedicated to
relaxed flying of scale gliders, electric power and quiet, vintage i/c
power" - all reflected in the club's "Mission Statement"
of the pursuit of relaxed quiet flying with the minimum impact on the
countryside.
 At
the present time the club has just a few members and is keen
to recruit more like-minded souls to share the delights of both
the hobby and their superb site which has been specially graded
and sown with new grass. Those interested can contact Gordon
Veal at wgveal@globalnet.com
A new website has been launched to help promote
the club. Designed and managed by Geoff Graham - a valued contributor to the pages of Modelflight - the site consists of
one main page, a contact page giving details of the club's location,
and an events page announcing a weekend aero-tow scale gliding event in
August . The next stage of the promotion programme
is to be more local, with carefully targeted eye-catching posters and
open days.
There is a nice collection of images on the main
page, giving a glimpse of some of the aircraft currently being flown at
the club - including a very nice Super Cub tug employed for aero-towing
- and, as usual, one or two have found their way on to our photo
gallery. If you visit the site, you will recognise one or two of Geoff's models that have
appeared on ModelFlight -we watched him build at least one of them on our 'work in progress'
page.
