Access the documents on the web sites and read and understand them. Do prepare to make your voice heard to keep gliding costs reasonable and protect our freedoms.<br/> How many of you have followed the links to the BGA website and the CAA website and read something about it? Everyone, I hope. However, I suspect that many of you have not yet had time to get the whole picture. Please do make that time. A couple of hours of your time could help make a big difference to the future of gliding in the UK.<br/> If you want and need help to put together your response to these proposals you are not alone. The BGA has recognised this. To help they have put a great deal of material on their website and have organised the consultative meetings around the country. <br/> Responses - Ideas/Examples<br/> In the meantime the message from the presentation is that the proposals are not cast in stone and the CAA will listen to all reasonable arguments provided there is sufficient weight of response in both quantity and quality. Quantity relies on EVERY ONE OF US responding using the on-line form, email or letter. Quality relies on each of us using OUR OWN WORDS to explain how the proposals would affect us as individuals and our club - the following are possible examples but there are lots of others: Our club is unique in that we 'live' in controlled airspace and operate under a letter of agreement. These proposals could possibly close us down so it is vital that every member responds to this CAA proposal.<br/> <a href="http://www.londonglidingclub.co.uk/modes.xml">[continued on the website...]<br/></a> <br/> <br/> <img src="http://www.londonglidingclub.co.uk//images/thumbs/briefing.jpg" alt=""/> http://www.londonglidingclub.co.uk/2008-05-07T15:20:35+00:00/upcomingevents.xml2008-05-07T15:20:35+00:002008-05-07T15:20:35+00:002008-05-07T15:20:35+00:00 Dates of meetings to assist form filling.
