2014 South African Gliding Nationals

It has been a while since my last post.
Briefly, we had round 2 at Silverton Gliding Club. I enjoy the venue as it is quite challenging with a lot of trees all around the field. Should you miss the trees, there is also a huge dam to land in.
Round 2 saw only 2m gliders entering and that made for some good competition.
Congratulations to Bryan Paxton, a newcomer to F5J, who showed us all how it should be done. Herman posted the results on the MGA blog.

Round 3 was scheduled to take place at Snoopy's airfield in Randfontein on the 18th of May but was cancelled due to extremely poor weather conditions. Hopefully we can re-visit Snoopy's at a later event.

The 2014 Glider nationals are due to take place on the 14th to 16th of June at Africa Lawns near Delmas. Google co-ordinates are: 26°08'08.4"S 28°37'52.9"E Entry forms available for download  here: http://1drv.ms/1k1pgly
This year's event is going to be great. Please make an effort to enter.
