News Flash: CISS Tradition Imperiled!

Per Ron Clarke, there is a lot of work to do before we can fly on New Years Day:

The status of the equipment at present is such that we will not be able to fly on the 1st unless we get a GOOD turnout of members next Saturday (Dec 18).
The only glider currently "in annual" for the 1st is 809S and this weekend we dissasembled the tailwheel structure as there were several bad cracks in it. We will try to get it fixed before Jan 1 but this is not a given.
The only alternative is to finish some work on the Grob wings and get it back in annual together with 303BA and the PW before then.

If we want to fly on New Years Day, we'll have to do a lot of maintenance work on the 18th.
