We've been given notification that the airspace is to be modified. CAA are considering changing the area directly over Climie ridge from 7500' to 5500'.  Kaitoke Gliding club now aware of this also. Guy Harding to follow up, and look at putting in a submission.

Climie Landing

Kris has had a discussion with hte owner regarding landing in the paddocks across from the school. The owner, Mr Gillies has informed Kris he would prefer us not to land on the property. However, our contact with the leaseholder indicated that there was no problem with them with us landing there, as long as we used reasonable common sense - i.e. don't land there when the cows are being brought in for milking. This needs further investigation.
