Over the past year, the ASGC has received a community grant and various other donations from local Alice Springs business' that have allowed us to transform the clubhouse from near dis-repair, and return it to its former glory.

The driving force behind the work on the clubhouse was Robert Smits, and his efforts were recognised on the day by our club patron, the Hon. Gerry McCarthy who presented Robert with the Patron’s Trophy for outstanding commitment to the Alice Springs Gliding Club.
The day has generated some great media attention, with representatives from ABC Radio & TV, Imparja Television, and the Advocate all attending and taking us up on our offer of a short flight to experience soaring in Central Australia in thanks for their attendance.
Overall a successful day, and the ASGC thanks everyone who attended on the day, especially the
Hon. Mr Gerry McCarthy, and Hon. Mr Karl Hampton for participating in the day.
