View Full Version : Best Gliding Club Web Site

One of the Gold Fields Gliding Club members took it on himself to
re-create the club's defunct web page. I think the result is the most
comprehensive web page for any club currently on the internet. It
includes the club's by-laws, constitution, training and conversion
syllabus, as well as the usual photos, links and directions. See
Andries Lombaards’ creation at www.ggc.co.za. The result is not
just useful for outsiders wanting to know about the clubs activities,
but also for members who need updated training material, duty lists
and general news. What more does a web site need to have to be
perfect?

Try www.manxgliding.flyer.co.uk Not bad for a tiny
club with only about twenty members!

Agreed. And their introduction to soaring (
http://www.yorksoaring.com/whatissoaring.html ) is so good that my club
stole it. Well.... actually, we provided a link to their site.

Here are some Northern California soaring sites created by my friend
Brian Choate working both as a volunteer and through his web design
company - I think he's done some nice work, especially the photography
and awesome flight stories. He also donated hosting for the BLIPMAP
site in its early days.

Lots of videos and flight stories, including the first flight from
Central California to Tahoe (that's going over Yosemite the hard way,
believe me) and a miraculous straight out almost to the Mexican border
from the SF Bay Area. The sites are for our home fields (the FBO and
club for each).

http://www.soarhollister.com (Brian's home field - nice new interface)

http://www.williamssoaring.com (my home field - great content, active
forum, soaring webcam)

http://www.valleysoaring.net (our brand new club site - pretty
interface, still adding content)

http://www.bayareasoaring.com (the local club at Hollister - basic
site, good content)

http://www.soaringnet.org (our little volunteer web site with a cool
Northern Cal soaring site map, links to the awesome Peter Kelly
Soaring Diary and some other interesting things.)

http://www.soaringnet.org/bc/index.htm (Really great multimedia flight
write-ups)

Best,

Milt

What a great idea. I will go and look at the sites and get our webmaster to
provide links if appropriate.
Try my clubs site in Australia. We use the net a lot for weather (station
and cam available), to book aircraft, swap info etc. Certainly has helped
our club grow as good communication always does. www.ddsc.org.au.
