someone can correct me but isnt it a valid rego number that counts in this case
as that happens when it comes into the country, its easy to see in the GFA
system if a form 2 has been ordered for any given rego/owner on a given year.

Gee that’s a worry Stephen.

From the aircraft register of 2013
1220 gliders and motor gliders
950 privately owned
270 owned by clubs/cadets/societies etc.
last year
1276 gliders and motor gliders (+4.6%, 56 actual)
981 privately owned (+3.3%, 31 actual)
295 owned by clubs/cadets/societies etc. (+9.3%, 25 actual)
Only about 3 years difference, I'd be reluctant to say too much about trends,
have to go back and dig up a really old one. But private ownership (in absolute
terms) increasing more than club ownership (and as others will point out, only
about half of the gliders in Australia are given an annual in any one year, so
it all may be moot anyway).
gliders on the register newer than 3 years old in 2016 - (64 total)
36 private
28 club
Of those 64 new gliders 18 "pure" (mostly DG1000s, and 10 of them air
cadets), 46 with some sort of motor. That's a clue to the future right there.
For pilot flying times, much more difficult to get a handle on.

Re: [Aus-soaring] MEMBERSHIP AND A WORLD REVIEW
to put a different spin on it, how about asking some different questions
1) how many gliders are there now?
2) how many are privately owned (percentage change)?
3) have the annual flown hours per pilot gone up or down?
