Friday Evening Talks

Friday Evening Lectures 2012-2013

This winter's Friday evening programme is detailed below.

The Friday Evening Lectures are lectures/talks on a variety of gliding related topics held over the winter months. They are pitched primarily at new pilots through to pre-Bronze and pre-Silver, although they are open to all members and some topics may have a wider appeal.

The talks will normally be held in the Briefing Room with the first talk starting at 7 p.m. There is a break for refreshments before the second talk and we aim to finish around 9:30 p.m. Anyone wishing to have a meal at the club before the talks should let Andrea know, preferably with a day’s notice.
