I think it is high time that 'rumours' of whatever kind are replaced with honest statements about whether there is actually going to be any glider flying.
Olympia it would seem to me that you are showing your age a bit with your “ young men “ comments, the ATC has been open to female cadets for as long as I can remember.

Take my advice and refer to the cadets as young people that way you can stay on the right side of the PC brigade and not offend males ,females and those who are not sure.
