The online RidgeDancer experiment is drawing to a close.  Without a Editor to hunt down content, write up articles, and finesse the stories into the required format, we haven't been able to publish a regular newsletter.

This issue will catch up with content previously submitted and the official meeting minutes.  Starting in 2008 we will integrate all club communication into an updated layout of the website:  www.sfbapa.org. 

A website I read daily (www.vansairforce.net) just posted a small review of a really cool new device. As useful as it is for airplanes, I uspect it is far more useful for you XC paraglider sky god types. Cheap, small, logs flights by web and has a panic button to notify various phone #s with a prestored message and GPS coordinates. Possibly a middle ground before going to a EPRB.

See www.vansairforce.net for photos and more description.

Voting for the BAPA calendar has been completed. The preliminary results voting results are in:

There were a total of 41 votes:  http://paraglidingphotos.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=14

Thanks for all the participation.
