Hello one and all
After a marathon wait for my visa I eventually made it here an now one month has passed already, I've met a good few of you, with many more to go.
So what have we been up to for the last month?
Paul Stickler, a fellow Lasham pom, who I was supposed to train here was sent solo by Ian the day after I arrived. One happy customer. My first student was Greg Hammond, who I had flown with in Benalla. A nice easy start, Greg re soloed and went on to complete his 'C' certificate. Daniel Dubreuil and Simon Bleuler also completed their 'C's. Daz, the american, made great progress, Ian sent him solo and he progressed a good way towards his 'C' before he headed home. Phil Goninon converted to the junior after 15 years. Nick Edwards converted to the junior (he would have had to start flying at age 1 if it had taken him 15years!!), father Greg went solo as did Ryan Orsmond. Junior member Emma Kennedy was sent solo by Mathew Minter. We have flown numerous visitors and club members. The Keepit 'team' did well at the Easter comp in Goondiwindi. Well done all.
Its been a good first month, busy but fun. Long may it continue, and what's more amazing is that I may have mastered the blog! (well mastered may be a bit optimistic!) Look forward to meeting you all soon. Val
