It's not a shear. It's a convergence. http://soaringcafe.com/2012/07/weather- ... eze-front/

Misc.

• Opened with some stories about the last couple days of flying.
• John Simpson will be giving free tandem intros to HG to all comers. None of
  these passengers will be his existing students. There is no implied or
  explicit assumption that these passengers will become students, and this
  will be made clear to them.
• John will be flying an H2 student (not one of John's historical students)
  to get him his tenth hour.
• It was suggested that we bar non-members from even setting up a glider. Idea
  was it would give us a more clear-cut line of delineation (sp?) when we have
  any of a number of unwelcome pilots around. The usual behavior is that they
  set up and, if there's no objection, they fly. (e.g. the powered
  paraglider.) Better to have law enforcement show up and be able to bust them
  without being able to fall back on the defense that they didn't intend to
  fly. The consensus was that we're in good shape with things where we are and
  no vote was held.
• Informationally, there's a proposal to develop the property of the stables
  and two of their neighboring properties: http://thorntonbeachbluffpreserve.com/a ... -preserve/
• John suggests flying at Poplar Ave, in Half Moon Bay. There's a parking lot
  there by the beach. It's unregulated.

President

• Chapter renewal is complete. Included recommendation to update site intro
  page. Steve has made some changes to make it easier to find the intro from
  the site guide page.
• Majo's dad is down with Covid, so the aerotow clinic has been delayed. Join
  WhatsApp group for updates.
• There's a random Amazon App using the Fellow Feathers name to advertize his
  videos. We've asked him to remove our name and any reference to footage he
  has no permission to use.
• Has sent letters to everyone that made high-value donations.

Vice President

• Only about 12 sticker applications have come in so far. Chris asks that we
  communicate via Social Media to encourage people te get their stickers before
  they fly. Best bet is by mail, everyone.

Treasurer

• Confirmed receipt of sticker applications and payment from Chris.
• $19,337.51 minus 12k roofing fund: $7,337.51.
• All bills are paid.

GGNRA Liason

• RRRG have recommended that our chapter be approved for continued insurance
  coverage.
• Updated James w/ info on Rob's work on "The Doghouse", that we've replaced
  the door and have plans for the electrical work. (James is the guy at GGNRA
  that we generally work with.)

Clubhouse

• Lots of work (LOTS AND LOTS OF WORK) have been done in the clubhouse. Lights,
  lockers, door, electric, exterior lights, etc. Moving the lockers has given
  us room for more racks, which Rob has already installed, adding 12 slots.
• Rob has put out a notice that anyone who wants a second slot, has the chance
  to do that again.
• We've lost 5 people from the clubhouse, this year.
• Checked for rats/mice. No sign of them. Rebaited all traps.

Tandem Administrator (absent)

Tech Officer

• flyfunston.org will be migrated from webfaction to ts(missed the audio). We
  will be notified a couple weeks in advance.
• We recently got a new weather station. The one next to the clubhouse is from
  davis instruments. We have a new Tempest from WeatherFlow. Rob mounted the
  Tempest on the pole next to the Davis. Rob is currently looking at the quality
  of the data and we'll choose if/when to switch after that evaluation.

Safety Director

• Brad will be keeping a journal of accidents and will be submitting a
  complete list to USHPA on a regular basis. (Cadence to be determined.) If
  you are involved in - or witness to - an accident, it is your responsibility
  to notify Brad. Preference is that all pilots report their own accidents.
• Soham had a blown launch in late January.
• If there's an incident that falls under the RRG's reporting rules, the pilot
  MUST report it to Brad. Extra witness reports are helpful to provide further
  data. This all helps us to get our insurance costs down. See RRG's
  information in USHPA mag about why more reports actually reduce our costs.
  (USHPA actually prefers that every witness to an accident reprort it to
  them.)

Training Bowl

• John Simpson was flying (Feb 2) on the lower cliffs. Someone from the horse
  stable (on a horse) was screaming at him to leave the area (while John was
  in the air.) Our SUP does give the horses priority, so please give them as
  much room as possible.
