Waldo,
I chatted with one guy from Central Europe with tugging experience and he was offered a tuggie 'job' at Booker, maybe at Bidford as well. Thing is, he couldn't have started beginning of April at that time.
Gliding season in the UK starts around April, if you look at gliding clubs' websites, you'd see the membership runs from March or April for obvious reasons.
Having said that, you could possibly get in touch and 'fill in' should someone drop out mid-season. Also, in Aboyne/Deeside, they do FT tuggie in autumn for wave season, ie the summer guys may not stay and fly for them autumn/winterish time.
Oh, I see my long-winded post. Hmm. After summer in the US I was writing about (and no, didn't get to visit Wilamette Valey Soaring Club), I started with gliding eventually. Enjoying 'work free' weekends now, doing some winch launch 'conversion'. Touch easier for stronger winds than aerotows - at least for someone in glider.
Anyway, should someone want 700 tow experienced guy [EDIT: read as NOT post offer, but guy who searches for one] as tuggie this summer, let me know and I'll direct you to that guy's email.
Off to do some great tailwheel flying myself soon :-D
