Stratford-on-Avon Gliding Club: Winter Programme 2000
Winter Programme 2000

See the News pages for information about lectures during the Foot&Mouth epidemic.


This is the winter programme for 2000/2001. The target audience for each lecture is a general guideline, so please come along if you're interested in something particular.

To help us plan, it would be useful if you could indicate which lectures interest you, on the list in the Clubhouse or by email or phone to the CFI. However, if you forget to book, you're still welcome to come along.
