Hi Barry,
 
     Welcome to SWWSC, sorry about the delayed welcome, it's due to my latest hobby called extreme working and home renovation.
 
     I hope that you have enjoyed the company of members that you have already met, and hope that you continue to enjoy your flying equally as much.
 
     Don't hesitate to ask members for their help or advice, as we are all more than glad to provide it........some more than others.
 
Fly safe,
 
Andy H. SWWSC Chairman

Hi Everyone,
 
I would just like to take this opportunity to say Hi, i have just joined the club and only recently (Sunday) had my CP signed off, so at the moment a very inexperienced pilot.
Right a bit about myself.  My name is Barry, i am 34 years old, and I severed 8 years in the Royal Marines but left 4 years ago when I decided to have a family wit my partner whom I have a two year old son with. I live in Llanelli and work for a company called Fujitsu services on the DVLA contract.
 
Paragliding is something I have always been interested in and so happy that I have managed to get my CP signed off last week. I am looking forward to meeting and learning from other members. I have only met a couple of people but my first impressions are very good, everyone has been very pleasant and helpful.
 
Cheers guys look forward to meeting you.
 
Barry
