Our Australian Glasflügel friend (and
Mosquito owner), Rhiaan Bennett started a new event last year called RooGlide for 20-35 year olds! As she aged out of being a Junior, she felt the need to keep the connections going that JoeyGlide had created.
Narromine in NSW was the location for the first event and it was a huge success! Rhiaan (with the support of her pilot parents, Kylie and Neil, plus partner Nathan) put a lot of work in before and during… everyone received welcome packs with the very popular RooGlide bracelets.
Glasflugel was very well represented with 2 Libelles, 1 Mosquito, 1 Hornet and a Salto (yes, it's part of our family). We made sure they all have one of our stubbie holders (Australian beer holder… see the photo).
It was a non competitive event designed for people to achieve their own goals in a supportive environment and coaching was also offered. The evening games and morning talks were also a hit.
Gliding isn't just about flying, but about friendships and we love that the younger pilots have more reasons to get together.
Please give their page a like so you hear about their next event.
