Default Worlds first?

Do we have a unique situation?

My daughter, much to her dads delight, has decided to take up gliding.
Last weekend we signed her up as a member. She has also brought along
another teenage girl who will sign up this weekend. At first I thought
having two teenage girls at once in a single club might be unusual. It
turns out we actually have at least 3, possibly 4 and there may be
more coming! These are all normal members attracted to the sport
outside things like air cadets or such.

Now you may have noticed that I haven't mentioned which club we belong
too. For good reason! One of those teenage girls is my daughter and I
am not keen on attracting a horde of teenage boys to the club, much as
we'd like the business.
I'm considering taking up flying a primary glider or even tugging to
ensure I spend as much time on the ground as possible!

As a matter of interest the subject of gliding has been raised at her
school and it surprised me to hear that even in the South East of the
UK pretty much nothing is known about aviation by the youth, certainly
gliding was a complete mystery to her peers according to Jennifer.
