MACI Annual Glide-in

Annual MACI glide-in has been held at Tountinna near Killaloe for the last few years and will be held there again this year. Great day out, with all welcome to come and fly. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and a good slope which takes most wind directions. Lots of glider pilots in the Shannon region and are usually joined by good numbers from Cork and the rest of the country. Lets hope the weather treats us better this year.

Sat 14th June 08 (Note, will be moved to Sun 15th if the weather does not cooperate)
