Even in the rain and snow, the plywood glider models made their way to Arosa
It was a clear-cut situation: Unfortunately, we had to fall back on the bad-weather plan. The friendly staff at Aroser Bergbahnen were very helpful in this situation. And from the food service team, we heard words of gratitude and praise that all participants had shown up. A few of our friends delighted us with some short flights. It was clear: there were true idealists present here. Incidentally, the term “Aroser Wirtschaftskunde” was the talk of the day. Apparently, interesting topics of conversation kept everyone in good spirits nonetheless. So let’s hope that next year the Aros sun will shine on us again.
