[Aus-soaring] Gliders for Waikerie

2017-10-01 Thread Tom And Jane
Two American friends are looking for gliders to rent for the Waikerie 
Nationals. They do not expect the latest equipment so if you have or know of 
gliders that might be available please let me know. 
As is usual with our American friends they are generous.
