Static Glider Display Walmer Park Mall - 3 October 2009
The club has for some time now been looking at ways of making the residents of the Port Elizabeth and surrounding areas aware of the gliding activities at the Uitenhage airfield. A few months ago the club committee agreed to the concept of displaying a glider in the Walmer Park shopping mall.
The purpose of the static display was threefold: Firstly to introduce the concept of gliding to the visitors to the mall, secondly to make them aware of the gliding activities at the Uitenhage airfield and thirdly to attract new members.
