To quote Douglas Adams & Corporal Jones...

DON’T PANIC!

The Governing Document…the instruction manual for an organisation

Traditionally, when do we consult an instruction manual? As a last resort…

What do most people say about their lovely things (Cambridge, camera, computer etc) that need instruction manuals? There’s loads of features I just don’t know how to use properly…

The aim of this training is to encourage our club members to read the book of words and to help all of us get the most out of our gliding club.
