The
Sydney Microlight Club
The Sydney Microlight Club, based at the Illawarra Regional Airport, is open to all microlight pilots regardless of where you are based. Depending on weather, we try to organise regular club events including cross country flights, navigation competitions, maintenance workshops, BBQs and other social/flying related events. If you are not a microlight pilot but are interested in learning to fly or
if you just wish to go for a flight in a microlight, contact Ned McIntosh at The Sydney
Microlight Centre (0428 420310) to arrange a Trial Introductory Flight (

Events
Benalla
Flyaway 2008
The annual fly away was held between 29th April to 6th May and was attended by a select few who managed some good flights in spite of indifferent weather. Perhaps the best flight was to Porepunkah, which followed by a barbeque with Greg and Rosemary Withers before the group flew back to Benalla. We also visited Peter and Anne Maclean's shop at Yarrawonga as well as calling on Diane and Gary McNamara for some Punkinhead Airsports gear hot from the factory. Next year we might go sightly earlier to hopefully avoid the weather which tends to go "off the boil" after Anzac Day. Let
us know if you're planning an event!
Feel like flying somewhere on the weekend but don't want to go by yourself? How about a group trip to Moruya, for example? Or a flight to Goulburn and return, easily done in a day if the weather is kind. We can also fly to Jaspers Brush and drink all their tea and eat all their biscuits for a very nominal cost...and who knows what else? Additionally, a newly-formed social group of pilots at Wollongong, The Illawarra Flyers, hosts a barbeque every Friday afternoon starting at 4.30pm in Steve Green's hangar. It's a great way to meet other airport users and get to know them which really "greases the wheels" and makes for very harmonious relations with the various aircraft operators. Bring some small change for your sausage sandwich and a beer or a "softie" and meet the locals. Perhaps you would like to host a fly-in at your
local airstrip or maybe you just want to meet up with other other pilots like
yourself and tell all those flying stories that have been boring your wife or long-suffering family
senseless for years...if so, let us spread the word. For
