For a number of years the SAA has been seeking a site where a centre of excellence can
be formed.
The centre would offer the opportunity
to bring together flyers through competition
or via our bursary route to improve
their individual skills and or team
skills for the home and international
scene.
It would also offer the opportunity to
stage training weekends (and longer periods) and examiners
to improve and update skills away from their normal club
scene.
The proposed centre would
incorporate
1 An indoor lecture area 2 Chalet overnight bunks 3 Toilets 4 Small Kitchen 5 Runway side shelter 6 Furnishings & fittings for the above 7 Storage for on site equipment
The local Stranrear model air club
has recently lost its flying site at West Freugh
and currently they have no good flying facilities. This
proposed site would offer the
opportunity to the local club members to share flying safely
through out the season
