At the end of the day's operations, the aircraft are hangared, the equipment stowed, batteries placed on charge, and so on. After this members attend 'de-briefing' in the clubhouse. Many have caravan parks or camping sites for members with vans or tents. You will also need to remember protection from the sun, and in the summer bring adequate drinking water. Although much of the flying done is alone, solo in a single-seat sailplane, gliding is essentially a team sport.
Sailplanes are graceful in the air, but helpless on the ground.
Pilots are expected to help launch their fellow members, as the others help to launch them. Many club members will give up their time in other areas to help with the club's operations. Instructors and airworthiness engineers usually give their time voluntarily. Those with mechanical or engineering skianical or engineering skills may find themselves involved with design or modification of club equipment. Those with organisational skills may find themselves on the club committee.
