Ah, Broomstick, London Gliding Club is very different from Dublin. And anyone who lives in the stockbroker belt must resent spending time at a gliding club. Obviously, time is money, for Broomstick.
Don't let him put you off, Mighty Ducks. Just as riding a bicycle can be a lot more fun than driving a car in London traffic, or sitting in the traffic jam fuming, so flying a glider, sharing a thermal with a red kite, or 3 other gliders, is fun, wonderful fun, and that's the only reason we do it.
I can drive a spam can, too, big deal. Its fun, especially if its a sea plane, but you can fall in love with gliding. Don't kid yourself that power flying can be a business tool or a form of transport - its mainly for posers.
