Enterprise Club – appointments & membership

1.      At this year’s competition we made some new appointments:      

President – Justin Wills

Justin fully supported his father’s ideals from day one by entering and winning(!) the first 3 competitions. He won again this year, making a total of 11, with one flight of 837kms. He has demonstrated enterprise flying throughout his career and all over the world, as well as being a very successful competition pilot at national and international levels with awards too numerous to list. This year we elected him to the position of President in recognition of all this, his constant support to Competition Enterprise and as an advocate of all its ideals.

Vice President – Bill Longstaff

Bill also started in 1974, missed one or two years, then has flown every year from 1980, joining the committee in 1981 becoming chairman in 2000 to 2008. Following John Fielden’s death in 2002 he has been very active behind the scenes in every subsequent competition specialising in scoring, logger traces and photographs. He was also instrumental in establishing our web-site.  It seemed totally appropriate that he should be elected Vice President.

2.      And clarified our structure:

Enterprise Club – automatic membership

Anyone can fly at Enterprise and it was agreed that first-timers be called Associate Members. But recognising the growing number of regular attendees, membership of the Enterprise Club is now automatic, determined by flying at least twice and at more than one gliding club in a 5 year period. This year alone 8 entrants found themselves club members! And 5 more non-attendees also qualify. See Club Members
