Ken Andrews at Dockweiler - January 24th

Postby Bob Kuczewski » Wed Jan 20, 2016 12:07 pm

Ken Andrews is USHPA's newly elected Region 3 Director. Ken will be at Dockweiler this coming Sunday (January 24th, 2016) for a mixture of flying and discussions.

All Friends of Dockweiler are encouraged to show up for what promises to be a fun and informative day at the beach.

Are the 115 paragliding deaths* in 2015 a topic for discussion?

Probably not, but then anything can be a topic of general conversation.

The near future of Dockweiler hang gliding will certainly be up for discussion. Paragliding is not allowed there (county rules). :thumbup:

Hey guys, how about moving this discussion over to the blog page instead of the FDGS club page?

Based on a request from the Friends of Dockweiler leadership, I've moved 3 posts from this discussion to a new topic in the "Hang Gliding General" forum titled:

     "Topics for Discussion with Ken Andrews"

Anyone interested in continuing the discussion there is welcome.
