"I am promoting the Scale Soaring UK image and as such I've had some advertising pens made. I am hoping to sell them to fellow flyers etc all money raised to go to Cancer UK.
I intend to sell the pens at events for 60p each or two for £1 should anyone wish to have a pen sent to them then they could email me and I will send one for £1, two for £1.30."
The inscription on the pen is:-
I've joined Scale Soaring U.K.

Aussie Help
From the Australian SilentFlight Network comes this interesting article ready for our new flying season :-
Aerotow Setup & Etiquette
In the hope of making the aerotow events run a little more smoothly and help participants understand what makes a great event, a few individuals have got together and written an article on what makes for good aerotowing. Proposed only as a set of guidelines, the idea of the article is to try and get everyone on the same page when it comes to managing events and clear up a few misconceptions.
