The sixty or so members and families from the three gliding clubs who were present at the clubhouse last night (22/07/2006) were treated to a very pleasant evening. After a well-catered two course spit-roast dinner eaten in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere, guest speaker MacArthur Job entertained us with recollected experiences from his extensive, varied career in aviation. This ranged from flying Dragons with the flying doctor service in the outback, charter operations spotting tuna in NSW and South Australia, to producing and editing the Aviations Safety Digest and other aviation publications. "Mac" has several published books related to aircraft accident investigation to his credit and is still writing about aviation these days.

The evening was rounded out with conversations around a splendid bonfire, some fifteen metres across with six-metre flames lighting up the district.

Thank you and well done to Kevin McGowan, Neil Thompson for organizing the dinner and bonfire respectively and to the members who helped.
