Yeh you need an endorsment to use the toilet there eh? That club put me off gliding for 10 years!(And is the only organisation or club that asked me to pay a joining fee twice-needless to say I did not rejoin choosing to drive an extra 140km to fly)Thank god I went somewhere else and progressed.I am sure that attitude repels a lot of potential pilots. I personally have no opinion on the GFA other than I am SICK TO DEATH OF WHINGES on this group about it. Anyone ever actually fly how about some interesting flight stories guys? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Borgelt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [aus-soaring] Re: Flying under CASA
