Roo Glide

RooGlide 2026 is going to be held at Narromine Gliding Club from the 14th to the 20th of November. It is a social cross-country week, targeted at 20-35 year olds, but everyone is welcome to join. RooGlide is a social week organised to create life long friendships for Glider pilots that have or are close to ageing out of JoeyGlide. It provides opportunities to develop new skills and support from other glider pilots in a fun social environment. There will be optional daily tasks set if individuals would like to fly them. At the end of the day there will be a competition board, based off Weglide results. This creates a fun optional competitive scene that simulates planning and task management for future competitions. A daily education talk will be held prior to briefing. It will be presented by individuals who have competition and maintenance skills. It will focus on their favourite topics to demonstrate the passion individuals have towards Gliding. This event will be coordinated with a big social drive of fun daily games and themed nightly activities such as mini Olympic Games night and BINGO cards. Themes will be organised for activities to engage in a nightly social setting to support friendship development. This week is aimed to foster friendships in Gliding that can be maintained throughout life and to support a new generation of glider pilots to stay within gliding till they are seniors. This is going to be an exciting week full of fun and a lot of laughs.
