Did you see that?
Did you see it? I was walking down the main street of Trundle and I saw it. As shown in the picture, the Trundle Central School has a community notice board located outside our pub. On the right you will see the school notices but on the left is what I find really interesting!

There you will see a beautiful display of students art work, clearly showing the creativity of our local young people. Don't get caught in the obvious look behind it. Here we have another demonstration of the team at Trundle Central School going above and beyond. Actively promoting our young people creativity into our community.
Up until now students artwork get made and taken home with personally knowing each student I would never see there creations. This story gets deeper with the boards themselves as they were created by last years carpentry students learning how to and now are a living demonstration of the carpentry skills they will have for the rest of there lives.
Pony Club
Welcome back Trundle Pony Club to our second rally day of the year. The racecourse is looking loved again after the summer holidays and will be sparkling for our gymkhana and ABBA.
We had four riders saddle up for our rally day. We started slowly with two new horses. Then the riders did some exercises in the dressage arena to familiarise themselves with the letters again in readiness for all the gymkhanas coming up.
We then practiced troop drill for the Light Horse Team of four event at our gymkhana which is on Sunday, April 8.
A big thank you to those who came on Sunday and everyone who has helped keep the garden and lawn looking lush over the break. We will next see our riders at the Eugowra Pony Club Jumping Sporting and Dressage Day on Sunday March 18.

Paragliding
Wings out West Paragliding Competition will be based at Trundle from March 9 to 13. If you are in the Trundle district and look up over the next five days, you may see flying men! No you are not dreaming! Trundle is about to become the epicentre of Australian Paragliding!
Thirty five pilots from around Australia and overseas will be launching from a paddock near Trundle to fly around a course to compete for flatland gliding glory. If you want to meet and greet any of these brave souls you are welcome to attend a bush dance/supper on Sunday night, March 11, from 7:30pm at the Trundle Showground.
The Wings out West is Australia’s first ground tow paragliding competition. Pilots will be towed to around 800 metres above ground where they will release from tow and then fly a challenging air navigation course using GPS technology.
The towing technology has been developed by a Dubbo local, Phillip Mansell of Fly Dubbo and is used at most flight training facilities around Australia. Paragliders are minimalist aviation aircraft made from specialised textiles and in the shape of the steerable parachute. There is no motor on a paraglider.
To fly a paraglider, pilots are required to be licensed, receive specialist training and to maintain their rating each year. The paraglider pilots are able to stay aloft by riding rising currents of air – sometimes to the base of clouds and sometimes even higher around 3kms off the ground.
The skill requires pilots to be able to identify the location of the rising currents (thermals) by looking for clues on the ground and in the air. The wedgetail eagle is a great indicator of thermals, but if they become angry they can present a threat to integrity of the aircraft.
The navigation tasks take them to designated GPS turn points and will require the pilots to generally fly for three-four hours and cover up to 50-100 km. Pilots score points for being the fastest to the designated GPS goal mark. The Wings out West competition will run over five days. For more details about this event please contact Jen Kelly 0417 697 770.
