Regarding the Tow Meeting, first of all, a big thank you to Brian Carolan (again!) for supporting the gliding community and making his field available for the event(s). Many thanks also to Keith for being the middle man :)

We will have a bunch of pilots coming from the Continent, and they will be hosting training sessions for ALL MACI members between the 3rd and 7th of April.
Days will be announced as early as humanely possible, as this will depend of the weather. We will set a day for sure (so stay tuned!).

You will be able to get towed, see tow planes action, but also, it will be a "show and tell" from some of the best Tow Pilots in the European circuit, so it will be a unique opportunity for the Irish flyers to ask questions and give aerotowing a shot!

Bring any machines that you think might be suitable for aerotowing, bring any gliders you have (must have a tow hook!) and we will do non stop towing and technical chats.

Hey Fred,
              Maci events site needs updating as no glider events listed. People wont go if they don't know.

Hey John,

Just saw that. They have all the dates for the past 2 weeks...

Might just take time to put them in, but I keep an eye on it, just in case :)
