West Coast Soaring Club

Far too many Martin's in this club... I get it, and must admit the newest economy technology is very affordable compared to the steam / coal powered stuff from the past. Add in the cell conductivity and the communications challenges are easily dealt with. The old Sumas repeater used to go through a ...

Grumpy old man here.... If you put something up, they will shoot it... they will shoot it, even if they can't see it. (Tho gunfire has gone way down since the signs went up)... still.. If we decide to waste money on a internet toy... put up multiple fake cam/weather stations.. maybe the A-holes will...

James and Pedro,

Thanks for organizing this event...

My takeaway from the presentation... "Always have a plan B".... words to live by.

Cheers

Martin

Should have posted a million but I figured a $100,000 might attract some attention? Well the Club decided at the AGM to send money to Vancouver Island (always nice to give to the needy.....) I would like to point out we are a verge of loosing road access to our primary site. Yes, Its just good old &...

Update for launch, Mia and I installed the clubs new "Welcoming" sign. Small New Sign.jpg Found a gap in the two of the big rocks in the "Tank Trap", Used a bag of concrete to hopefully keep the pole in place. Lets see how long it lasts. (Thanks to Ali for the beautiful looking s...

Hey I'm new to F-Book, said I would never join... and I feel like a hypocrite (but I have been called worse ;-) ) .... Still think F-Book is a steaming pile of **** loaded with click bate and requires endless hours turning stuff off to shut off all the noise, unfortunately because the OZ Report is s...

(Positive Carnage that is )

Thanks to Fly BC for stepping up with plan to reduce the issue of the 4x4 "A-hole's" from ripping up the launch... Thanks!

Martin

Highly recommend the world "Please" be used.... Be kind, be calm, be safe.... then stone them?

Martin

Public shaming! I like it... the modern version of a good "stoning"...love it. Little things make a difference and it is up to us. We are practically permanent residents on the hill, it's up to us to care for Mother Woodside. One group that gets taken advantage of are the few of us that ac...

Update on the fire pit installed on Woodside.... I figured that with winter arriving all that was going to happen was a lot of talk and not much more on this topic so I took the initiative to remove the pit from the hang glider setup area. The pit has been dropped off at FlyBC. If the club decides t...

You don't need to worry about the hang gliding ramp anymore!.... somebody tossed it over the cliff (nobody used it anyway and apparently it had become a hazard/unsafe)

Martin

All, Over on another thread we are discussing the issue of an installation of a fire pit in the Hang Glider setup area. https://www.westcoastsoaringclub.com/forumnew/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9937 The "pit" has raised some very good questions about how do we maintain the site for flying and ...
