Omarama Day ZERO -1

Hello happy gliderfans

The Competition is starting in Omarama.
After some cold days (snow down to airfield level last Thursday) we have been rewarded by some nice sunny days.

Todays practice day saw some "boisterous" thermals with most pilots flying wave to Glentanner then to Two Thumbs. We heard some pilots over 16,000ft.

This evening it looks as tho we will have three tasks per day with
Open18 Metre class having 11 entries
Standard/15 Metre class having 15
and Club class having 5.

There will be a couple of late entries as rumour has it that two keen pilots are going to Weddings this weekend and one returning from a concert in Australia. Did I say keen. Surely a comp comes before a wedding and a straight flush.

The team is poised and ready to launch into action at 10am tomorrow with the first days briefing.

Regards

Roy.
