Air Sports Festival: a small club that got fully involved

Here is a fine example of a very small club (10 members) in the Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes region, which despaired at the slow erosion in the number of its members, and which is now taking the right path to a new lease of life.

Mr Guy Depouy, president of the ULM Aéro-Club des Combrailles, based in the heart of Auvergne at Saint Priest des Champs, found a good way, indeed, to communicate locally and beyond, thanks to the air sports week, organised by the CNFAS from 5 to 13 May all over France.

At the same time, they promoted our discipline, microlighting, with modest means, notably by offering introductory flights at €15 during this Air Sports Festival.

FFPLUM congratulates this club and its leaders on their commitment and encourages all small affiliated clubs to follow this example.
