The North Coast Soaring Association proudly presents the 12th annual
North Coast Glider Games 2024 edition.
May 2nd, 3rd, 4th and May 5th, 2024
The eclipse has come and gone and opening day is in the books so it’s time to gather on the slopes of Northeast Ohio! Come to enjoy the camaraderie as we challenge the skills of friends and foes alike. Heavy winds or light, there are always ways to get in the air and have great fun. The area around City View has been developed so parking has been paved and there are more choices for food in the area. Edgewater is beautiful, Perry is inviting and the club field is exceptional and ready to be enjoyed.
Thursday: Travel day – come one come all.
Thursday Evening: Indoor fun at One Smart Dog at 8:30pm
271 W Greenwich Rd. Seville, Ohio 44273 (Big Blue Building)
Friday:
The event begins…
Light winds between raindrops didn’t keep our intrepid slopers from having a good time at Edgewater.
12 p We travel to the slopes
Friday Evening: Indoor fun at One Smart Dog at 8:30pm
271 W Greenwich Rd. Seville, Ohio 44273 (Big Blue Building)
Saturday:

Open, Glider Games, Fun Fly – 1pm
No wind on the slopes today so we headed to Lodi for some flat land gliding. We continued to dodge raindrops but still had great fun.
7:30p Dinner at Tinkers Creek Tavern, 14000 Tinkers Creek Rd, Walton Hills, OH 44146 American classics & cocktails served in a warm, down-to-earth setting with creek side patio dining.
Sunday:
The Games continue! Wind, wind, wind! No so much.
So here is a picture facing downtown Cleveland
And here is one looking at the cooling towers of the power plant.
Oh well, we had fun!

The 12th annual Glider Games is in the books. Light wind, fog and rain didn’t dampen the spirits of our favored pilots. We dined. We maidened a few planes and enjoyed indoor flying on the first few nights. We ate. We had a lot of fun finding new ways to fly our flat land planes and testing the skies with our thermal ships. Did I mention we chowed? Slopes, fields and parking lots, we tested them all. A huge shout-out to Pat, Mike, Mary, Joe, Khan and Attila for the great camaraderie along with all our local friends.
As always, Thanks for making the games a blast in any weather!
It is you folks that make the Glider Games Great!
Don, Mike, Jeff and the rest of the crew.
