GASCo Safety Evening
The Club has arranged to host a GASCo/CAA Safety Evening on Monday 27th February at 19:30 hours in the Clubhouse. Safety is paramount to everything we do at the Club.
General Aviation is not hazardous if all those who participate in any kind of GA flying – including ballooning, gliding and all other forms of flying, or who have any role in GA as a designer, builder, maintainer or an Air Traffic Controller, understand that they have a part to play in safety. GASCo’s job is to provide us with information that will help make flying safer for us and others – “Safety through Knowledge”.
We have to limit numbers to no more than 40 due to capacity in the Clubhouse. If you would like to attend please email me at the earliest opportunity to secure your place. I will take names on a first come first served basis.
