  • in reply to: Is hang gliding a “dying sport”? Not at all… #21415

    Eric,

    I love your enthusiasm for the sport and I never tell anyone that the sport is dying. I believe the reason that so many do so is because of the small number of new HG pilots listed in the back of the magazine. As you know, the numbers used to be so much higher.

    Keep ups the great job of promoting the sport!

    Thanks!

    So if CSS is no longer part of the RRRG insurance.

    What insurance company is handling the club?

    Thanks,

    On the topic of the new shade structure:

    As mentioned, the lowest estimate was $57K … I assume this is for having a contractor do the work? Was there no consideration for doing it ourselves, or is this not allowed by local code?  I’ll me there the months of June & July and would be happy to help rebuild the structure if allowed.

    Some input on the topic of Camping at AJAX:

    As mentioned, there are some campgrounds in the area, but getting a reservation is difficult since many private RV parks allow permanent long term stays that use 60 to 70% of their sites, so obtaining a reservation is difficult, even when calling many months in advance.  As for State & county campgrounds, you must reserve at least 6 months in advance to have any chance of finding an available site. Also, 14 days is the limit of your stay at state & county parks. Many State & County campgrounds are closed due to Covid.

    It seems that no decision has been made concerning this topic…any idea when a decision will be made?

    thanks, Pat
