Winter Gliding

 

 

2008 KGC Dinner & Awards

Despite it being a bitterly cold night at the end of November, the clubhouse was the scene for the Kent Gliding Club Annual Dinner. The event, during which the trophies for the season were awarded, was well attended with over 60 pilots & partners enjoying the chance to meet, chat, eat, drink and celebrate.

A big thanks to all those who helped organise and congratulations to the prize winners.
