Glider pilot and glider administrator Vivienne Drew spoke to our March meeting.
A member of the Gliding Club of Victoria since 1989, Viv quickly won the Leigh Simpson trophy as the most outstanding trainee.
In the 2024 Australia Day honours list, she won an Order of Australia medal for her service to gliding administration. In particular, she was president of the Victorian Soaring Association from 2018 to 2022 and is active in programs which encourage young people and particularly women to become involved in gliding and aviation generally.
Our next meeting on Tuesday April 2 at 2pm, will host David Scott, principal of Paton Helicopters, registered at Maindample near Mansfield. One of their helicopters has been on standby with a roster of pilots, at the Benalla airfield, during this fire season.
