Come over to San Antonio Soaring Society, our club located at
Boerne
Stage airport (5C1). We winched last weekend and plan to do
it once a
month this summer. You can get an endorsement with our
CFIG.

I applaud your efforts to promote winching, coming from a UK
club with no current aerotow option, winching is my usual (and
cost effective) way into the sky.

If you ask them nicely, I expect they'd have no objections to
clubs on your side of the pond printing them off for circulation.
