Glider Club in North Dakota?

I've recently been reassigned to Grand Forks, North Dakota and am
looking to fly my Phoebus this summer, but SSA doesn't list any clubs
up here. Does anybody know of a club or glider operation anywhere in
ND, Western MN? It doesn't look like UND has a club operating at the
moment, at least not with a towplane.

There is a small consortium flying near Brookings, SD.

Email me me off-list and I will give you a contact number.

What about the Winnipeg Gliding Club near Winnipeg north of the border
about 2 hours from Grand Forks.

According to the FAA public release for 01/2008, there are 50 glider
rated pilots in ND; four in Grand Forks, ten in Fargo, four in Minot,
and four in Bismark. The rest are spread out. Eleven hold CFI-G's.

Sounds like time to form a club.

PS: ND needs an SSA governor also.

Yes, I've thought about travelling up there this summer. I just
wanted to see if there was a group flying somewhere in ND. I'd think
that there would be at least some decent soaring up here in the
summer. I'll definitely check out Winnipeg sometime this summer. I'm
going to school in Wichita Falls, TX and I know I'll be able to find a
place to fly down there from April to July.
