While its not in the States, I think my club (Cambridge) has a decent site:http://www.glide.co.uk/ But I think the best I've seen for attracting new blood to gliding is the London Gliding Club:http://www.londonglidingclub.co.uk/ -- martin@ * | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org * * * | Nice website and nice glider port ... Do you guys ever ridge soar on that hill in the background? I've only flown at LGC once in a very strong westerly. The ridge was working well. It was fun zipping past Whipsnade zoo and looking down on the penguins and wallabies before turning and beating back. You have to be low past the zoo because Luton said to stay below 1000 west of the airfield. Such a shame..... -- martin@ * | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org * * * |- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks to all of you for the great information and analysis of the important elements that make a successful web site. One conclusion is obvious- many clubs have talented people who have created wonderful web pages that motivate people to discover soaring. Also many clubs have a social environment that keeps members active in soaring. It’s not too late to send me more information. We are on our 10th day without power in my part of Houston. (Our gliderport was not harmed and the soaring since the hurricane has been good.) As soon as I can, I will study the elements that the best sites possess and the commentary you provided about the essential elements a soaring site needs. Then I’ll write something for SOARING or E-News. |

I haven't updated the look and feel of our website in a couple of
years, but it continues to bring in both rides and new members. www.valleysoaring.org |
