About the Mini Nimbus Owners Group

Alfred Bergrath started it all in the summer of 1999 with a small article in Aero Kourier magazine :

Interest group of Mini-Nimbus pilots
Wrselen: Schempp-Hirth only built 159 aircraft of the Mini-Nimbus racing
class glider which, today, are spread all over the world. Alfred Bergrath, a Mini-Nimbus pilot, is planning to organize an interest group of Mini-Nimbus pilots and owners which would allow a regular exchange of information. He is also thinking about regular meetings and of setting up a Website.
Contact: Alfred Bergrath

Since then the owners group has spread to nearly 40 members located in 3 continents and at least 5 countries, a mailing list has been set up which makes keeping in touch easier, and this web site has been founded.

If your are interested in being on the mailing list, want more information, or even better have your own Mini Nimbus, please contact either Alfred or myself and we'll be glad to help you out.

About Me

I've owned my Mini Nimbus for 5 seasons now, and in that time I've realised that they're not all that common.. 
A few months ago Alfred Bergrath put forward the idea of an interest group, where fellow Mini Nimbus owners could share ideas, experiences, and swap stories.
This website is an extension of that idea, I hope to get as many details and pictures of each and every Mini Nimbus, and store them here, as well as peoples experiences of their 'mini', and how they might have improved it.
If you own a Mini Nimbus, or have something you think might fit here, please contact me, in the meantime, enjoy.
