First formed in early 1975 The Norfolk club was the first and only club in East Anglia. Started by a bunch of guys who used to meet at Muckleburgh hill (weybourne), and then pioneered the cliff sites of the coast. Amoungst some of the founder members where
Greg Thompson
Mick Starling
Alan Snowling
Mike Lake
and some guy called:
1979 saw quite a large group. south of the border, form their own club. The Suffolk Coastal Floaters
Experimentation in payout winching was being carried out in the late 70's and early 80'ss, but due to a couple of fatal accidents the BHGA had put a stop to it. Around this time the club changed its name to "Eastern Airsports". Most of the existing members at this time flew microlights. Quite a few of these members where rather active in designing and building various forms of microlight aircraft
1983 saw the arrival of Tony and Rona Webb who had been traveling around the world. In the USA Tony had teamed up with Donnell Hewett, who was doing fixed line Towing. He had also developed a 2:1 Towing system (Skyting bridle).
The Norfolk club had successfully developed a Payout winch, Mike Lake had developed a "Leg" towing system, which although attached to both Glider and Pilot wasn't quite there. Tony adapted the Mike Lake "leg" with the Hewett skyting bridle, adding the release from base bar or upright modification. Putting this together with the Payout Winch, gave birth to modern UK Towing and Tow Training.
First Trainees were:
Rona Webb
Nigel Webb
Phil Chettleburgh
These were soon joined by:
Although other club members came and had a look, there were very few that flew the tow very often. Edmund Potter was the exception and went on to become locally famous as the "aerial technition".
To accommodate the various "sections" of the club, in 1984 the club changed its name to Eastern Airsports By 1986 the Microlight fraternity had all but disappeared form the club although the "Norfolk Air Race" did continue for a few more years, whilst the the membership numbers of Tow pilots started to increase dramatically.
Buy 1988 there were hardly any of the original members (if any) left. The name was changed back to the Norfolk Hang Gliding Club to mirror this.
The club had been rather dependent on Tony And Rona's School. It is at the time period that the club started to become a little more independent, by gaining its own static winch, and getting more winch men and Tow coaches qualified. By 1990 the school and Club where operating side by side, yet almost independently.
