Finally we got all gliders in Corowa and AQIS inspection has been done.
AQIS changed the regulations and the way we did the inspection is no longer allowed.
This year we were facing the new rules, but mr Ray Vassallo and Jodie Reilly were able
to convince AQIS Melbourne that we were not able to unpack in Melbourne for inspection .
However for next year we have to make a part of our area a Quarantine Approved Premises.
This means a lot of paper work to get the approval and a huge investment in solid solid surface
for the containers and inspection.
We understand the need for getting our gliders into Australia without the risk of causing any
contamination. Therefore we work together with AQIS Melbourne and Mr Vassallo of AQIS
Woodonga to get our permit organized before the arrival of the containers next year.

August 15th

4 full containers!!!  plus one full container from the Slovak Republik with 5 gliders.
So this year we transport 29 gliders to Corowa.

The container setting is final now, so everybody can plan his trip.
We made the decision to load in 3 days, because we try to use the loading area in Grubbenvorst
as short as possible.
Next to this, everybody has time enough for annual inspections and some of us are not in trouble
with the delivery of their new gliders.
This year we start on Wednesday with the safety inspections and cleaning and we will pack on
the next 3 days. On Sunday the last small things and a final inspection.
The pick up is on Monday.

May 31st

Today we made the final decision, that all 4 containers will go to Corowa.
In the mean time our Slovak friends are working on their container, which means, we have 5 containers
next season in Corowa.
A new challenge with 29 container gliders, 5 local gliders and perhaps some visiting gliders.

March 13th

Today we advised all the container customers about the conditions for next season.
New customers please send an email to f.bruinsma@mikefox.nl or info@australian-soaring-corowa.com

We will operate with max 4 containers and we will also look after the container from Nitra. (Slovak)
