25.01.2022 The answer is YES. F1GP is going ahead. If you haven't entered, there's still plenty of time to beg / borrow / steal an eligible steed and get your racing boots on....

20.01.2022 THE JOURNEY CONTINUES We've met to discuss the feasibility and safety of running JoeyGlide this year - again. Based on the current trend of data, we are confide...nt that we can run a safe and worthwhile event. We took time to speak to our competitors and their parents. They almost exclusively said that they were happy to wait until the last moment, when all information was available - and this is what we will do. Please rest assured that if we do go ahead, we will be operating with a comprehensive COVID-safe plan and protocols in place. The next update will be issued on Dec. 31st. AJGC

02.01.2022 AJGC QLD LOCAL SERIES WRAP-UP VIDEO! We're a little late, but good things are always worth waiting for - just like the conditions during this awesome week of fl...ying! We were thrilled to be able to hold an Local Series event at Kingaroy Soaring Club after COVID-19 led to the cancellation of JoeyGlide 2020/21 in Leeton The QLD juniors & Reuben (our NSW adoptee) put on a great show of Cross-Country soaring whilst they all made new friends, created new experiences and took their gliding to the next level thanks to some great instructors and mentors! A massive thank you to those who made it all possible including Greg Schmidt, Peter ODonnell, Chris Jesse and Kingaroy Soaring Club. As always, a huge thank you to our Sponsors Gliding Queensland, SkySight, Gosoaring and Aviation Insurance Brokers of Australia for their continuing support of the junior gliding community!

02.01.2022 Congratulations to Ryan and Alex.

01.01.2022 Central Coast GC are running their annual ridge camp this week. From other reports, it looks to be a great year with thermal, wave and ridge flying all available. Local press is great too! Check out CCGC and HVGC's reports on the camp here.

01.01.2022 Have a youngster that's interested in flying? Bring them along to your local gliding club for lessons and they too can be like young Griffin here! (Just a note that the legal solo age is 15 here in Australia - but still well before you can solo a car on the road!)

01.01.2022 Congratulations to Pete Temple for a massive 1300km flight out of Adelaide! https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-/gliding/flightinfo.html

01.01.2022 Congratulations Liam! Great to see another young pilot begin their flying career in gliding

01.01.2022 Throwback Thursday! Think your selfie game is on point? Think of the effort involved to achieve this shot. Another great snap from the GCWA archive.
