Gliding Club of Western Australia at Narrogin
A WIGWA development camp was held at Narrogin Gliding Club in March. Heather ticked off a few more boxes in her syllabus. Her favourite activity was an aerobatic flight. 'I was fortunate to have 2 days of diamond cross country coaching. The local eagles joined us on both days as spectators. What an experience for us both. Kudos to Narrogin Gliding Club for a successful camp.'
