I totally agree with John! I know all about it and it brings back bad memories – the destruction of my beautiful PIK-20D in September 2020. In my 55 years of gliding/soaring I have seen many major mistakes even down at CGC some of which I don’t even want to mention.

Where was the golf cart going to retrieve the glider? As soon as you see a glider in the pattern it is a good idea to send out a golf cart asap if one is available to retrieve the glider.
At the last safety meeting, i asked Ron how to properly land on the center line and stop or turn on the taxi way, answer: as they tell you.
my idea is:First we need to establish rules for landing .Flight director is responsible for traffic at the airport ,radio communication with the landing pilot such a small ATC control tower, for breaking these rules is validation : 1 a case of beer for exceeding the threshold, 2 cases of beer with a stop on the center line
