THANK YOU!
Thanks to everyone who made the Last Resort weekend a great success. To the tow pilots who worked overtime to get the gliders back and forth – Gerry W., Rich S. and Eric D. Eric deserves special praise for being the only tow pilot on Sunday. He really worked hard.
Thanks to the glider pilots who took some very LONG tows – Ron C., Dan D., Nyal W., John M., Dale I., Ken H., Todd R. and Cheryl B.
Thanks to Dale who flew the tow plane back on Sunday. I was VERY happy not to have the tow plane left on the ground for Monday’s storms.
Thanks Ron, Dan, Mario, Pete, and Mike N., who hung around on Friday waiting for the ceiling to lift above 1000 feet so we could ferry the sailplanes over early. It never happened.
Thanks to the crews on Saturday and Sunday who put out a special effort – Dick H. did a great job tearing down and moving things back to Alex!
Thanks to Nyal who helped arrange the weekend. He made sure we did it right. As a novice at this I really appreciated it.
Finally, a special thanks goes to Pete D. who really made this happen. He set up the operations and spent all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday working. He was the crew chief on Saturday and the crew chef on Sunday. Thanks for the great breakfast, Pete.
We have a great club! I had a lot of fun working with you all.

A sincere THANK YOU to the organizers of the CISS "Away weekend" .By the way, ZA has notified me of a state record claim from Sunday.
George and Pete you guys deserve special mention as we know you bore the brunt of most of the organizing and arrangements to ferry equipment back and forth etc. As well the Crews, operating at an unfamiliar airstrip and the Tow pilots all did an outstanding job.
The field was a very good venue, especially the camping facilities.

Vice President Tom Ruble and Chief Instructor Nyal Williams also expressed their gratitude to the Wilson family. Original post here.
