Killed of by the full time 'professionals'
Whatever way you look at this the simple truth is that the world class Volunteer 'training' (as opposed to 'rides') organisation that WAS ATC Gliding has been killed off by the very people paid to look after it.
IN truth this goes back to 3FTS days (possibly before) but either way the Volunteer element are the only ones that actually managed to do their job properly, and the 75th Anniversary year was the crowning disgrace of how not to motivate and recognise the thousands of capable Volunteer staff that gave the ATC the well deserved position it used to have, plus the loss of an unique motivating element that thousands of Cadets have missed forever.
UTTER UTTER UTTER Disgrace and all they can do is play around with websites and facebook to try to hide the TRUTH. The leaders of this organisation should leave and be replaced with some of the capable VGS staff that have been chucked away.
