New Website at last!
As you may have noticed, the website has undergone something of a facelift, which has been a long time in the creating. Many thanks go to Chris Emerson, a member of NUGC, without whom this site wouldn't have been possible. The site is designed to be a little more informative about the club, its history and its activities, so if you have any information to contribute, please don't hesitate to send it to me.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all club members past and present. 2009 was a good year for the club, with a number of improvements; new vehicles, new cable (Dyneema), new gliders on site and new solo pilots. Achievments ranged from first solos to Diamond distances, instructor ratings to five hours, and lots in between. Well done to everyone, and all the best for 2010, lets make it a good one!
The social calendar kicks off early in 2010 with the club New Year meal on Saturday 9th January at the Raj in Stamford. We can look forward to more social events such as flying evenings, and compulsory BBQs as we head into the warmer months!
Please note the Four Counties Members Forum is online at www.fourcountiesgc.co.uk/forum. Many members are already signed up, and this tool is proving a useful place for disseminating information, and the platform for friendly debate. So if you haven't already, get yourself registered!
Happy Landings for 2010!
