Calling all Glider Guiders!

     The next SWIFT meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 1 at Chalco

Hills.

SWIFT EVENTS at the COBRA field.

     The Bob Turner Winter contest for TD Gliders and E-Gliders. It will be on a

Sunday during the month with a short notice depending on the weather. If you

are interested in being put on the call list email Bob. bturner38@cox.net

During the month of February the snow and very wet ground has been a

limiting factor in holding any events. March will be bringing nicer weather

and the ground will be drying.

     The deal is that I am going to pick the Sunday when I check the forecast on

Friday. Then I will fire off an email. If you want to be on the list answer

this so I will notify you when the date is picked. If you know someone

without email give me their phone number and I will call. It will NOT be on

1/21 because Cobras are having a fun fly then. Let me know, pass the word

around.

From: Bob Turner bturner38@cox.net

      I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that a club event, will not conflict, with another club's event. The next most important service is to provide a Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs.  This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me at: MetroRCFlying@Gmail.com  There’s an Email Link on every page.
