Promoting the safe enjoyment of aviation for pilots, aircraft builders and enthusiasts.
In December 2013, Bashar reflects on his two-year presidency at CRUFC, emphasizing personal growth and club initiatives promoting aviation. Key points include engaging members, encouraging women in flying, addressing youth interest, and the need for more ultralight instructors. He concludes with a call to protect flying freedoms and wishes members a happy winter flying season.
The CRUFC is facing a significant decline in membership, down from 64 to 42 members due to insufficient new members and departing ones. A major contributing issue is the lack of ultralight instructors, which hampers training for prospective pilots. Addressing this shortage is essential to reversing membership trends and supporting flying enthusiasts.
