South Bay Soaring Society
The South Bay Soaring Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the hobby of model sailplane soaring. We hold contests, do educational programs for kids and adults and best of all we have guest speakers at our 2nd Wednesday of the month meetings at the main Saratoga, California Fire Station. Our business meeting is at 6:30pm and at 7:30pm we have our program. All are invited, even non-members. These programs have some the biggest names in Bay Area RC gliders, full size sailplanes, NASA, international model soaring competitions and all around aeronautical nerds. Check out our great programs now on You Tube and stay tuned, more programs are added every month.
