Dartmoor Gliding News-John Bolt Retires

Today saw the departure from the club of John Bolt who is moving to be with his family. The history of John and that of Dartmoor Gliding are inseparable. John was club member 001. During his illustrious time at the club John was at the centre of just about everything. He served for many years as an instructor and held several posts on the committee including a period as Chairman. Recent years have seen Inspector John concentrating on the aircraft and we thank him for the untold hours spent on this.

Vice Chairman Colin Boyd presented presented John with some gifts from the members, a painting of Brentor Church and a beautiful, engraved silver photo frame to remember us by.

From all of us, John, a great big thank you. You will be missed.
