WORLD DISTANCE RECORD HOLDER TO GIVE TALK AND SLIDE SHOW TO SEWHGPGC 7PM THURS 4TH FEB BRYN BACH PARK

The World Tandem “Out-and-return” distance record holder, Toby Colombe, has generously agreed to give us a presentation about his record breaking 168km flight and talk about distance flying in general.
This is a great opportunity to expand your flying knowledge and ask an expert all those nagging questions (or just enjoy hearing about a fantastic adventure).
Toby is currently in first place for the British Championships in both “Sports class” and “Serial class” categories. He is an Advanced Pilot and Professional Tandem Pilot but is very generous with his knowledge and keen to pass on his experience to other flyers .
You don’t have to be an XC hound (or even a flyer) to enjoy the show, all are welcome.
He is not charging the club for this presentation and it would be great to see a good turn-out on the evening.
Put it in your diary, a week Thursday, Bryn Bach Park, Merthyr Rd, Tredegar, NP22 3AY
Just off the "Heads-of -the-Valleys" road
That’s 7pm Thur 4th Feb …………… Great entertainment and its free

Come along for a great night out

Sounds interesting Jeremy, I will be there as long as I don't forget it!! Who organised it BTW?

I did Norris, I was out in Morocco at xmas and he said he was giving a talk to Devon Condors so I asked if he'd give us a talk as well and ,nice chap that he is he said "Yes!"

Well although I have not seen it yet I will say "Thank you", for taking the time and for being so thoughtful. Should be a good turnout as there is a lot of interest from the SWWSC too, I think Stevie G will be attending so he will probably bring company with him.

Great , the more the merrier !

Hi Jeremy, I’m really looking forward to hearing Toby Colombe on Thursday thanks for organizing this……..Mark
