And our HG instructor is the very experienced Tony Barton, so even the newest HG & PG pilots with only a few hours or who have never flown inland before will be building their skills in the most supportive and confidence-inspiring environment. At the last WWW event, most participants had PB's - furthest, highest and longest flights - and came away empowered in their flying and decision making.</p><p class="BN">There will be theory workshops and guest lectures on topics including XC skills, Instruments, Dealing with Fear, Human Factors/Situational Awareness and of course lots and lots of FLYING!</p><p class="BN">With funding from the HGFA, State Associations and CASA, early bird registration fee for participants will be only $95 for the full 5 days flying! What a bargain - such skills clinics with fulltime instructors normally cost more than $1000! But wait, there's more! Registration includes a welcoming barbeque plus a yummy presentation dinner, club membership, goodie bags, prizes, T-shirts and more! Airborne and Moyes are generously helping out by supplying a few loan gliders to make it more affordable for HG pilots travelling from distant states. We've also applied for funding to cover your accommodation expenses and will know in February whether we can make this event even more affordable!!</p><p class="BN">To register and pay online (payment via Paypal, credit card or direct deposit) and for more information, go to the website at <a target="_blank" href="http://womenwithwingsclinic.blogspot.com">http://womenwithwingsclinic.blogspot.com</a> and join our forum <a href="http://ozreport.com/emailer.php?toName= ... wings2></a> to introduce yourself to other female pilots and arrange carpooling, share accommodation etc.</p><p class="BN">Don't miss out on this fantastic event. You will gain skills, confidence, inspiration and friends!</p><p class="BN">For more information contact Helen McKerral on <a href="http://ozreport.com/emailer.php?toName= ... kerral></a> or telephone 0427 65 65 45</p>
