Brian has been a key figure in the Sky Surfing club since 1980, holding treasurer, magazine editor, chairman and, for the last 20 years, sites and PR posts. He has built excellent relationships with landowners and local authorities, generating tremendous goodwill. A hang glider pilot himself, Brian fought for the club’s paraglider pilots from the outset. He promotes the sport to the local community and has facilitated on-air radio and TV interviews with club pilots. All this has been achieved with his trademark quiet professionalism. He has also been a senior coach for many years and is the club’s archivist.
