Welcome to 2011

Now that Omarama Multi Nats is over I can concentrate on the Matamata Club Class Comps.

Unfortunately I have arrived home with a good dose of head flu....buggar!

As at Wed 19th January I have received 18 entries with at least 3 others I know who have said they are coming. Remember it helps the organisers tremendously if you enter if you are uncertain.  You can always cancel later at no cost.

The Matamata Soaring Centre competition will be run alongside the Club Class Nationals and will have their own trophies and "Day" prizes.  So rollup rollup. Remember we can only have a seperate class if we have 4 or more entries.  ie 4* Open/18 metre, 4*15m/Standard or 4*Sports/PW5 class.

If there are not enough entries to make a sepertate class you can always enter the club class but you cant stick water in the big "weapons".   Might be an interesting experience for some hotshots to fly without water?

Weather will be presented by David Jensen who has been forecasting out of Tauranga for a number of years.
See his Blog at  http://discuscs.blogspot.com/

Tasks will be a team including Steve Wallace who for many years dominated the club class and Tim Bromhead, Piako resident who is fast climbing up the ranks. They will be supported by Dave and yours truly(keeping an overview of whats what:-)  I understand that they are fully focussed to give some hard & meaningful tasks and not woosie tasks that may have been set in the past.

Remember this competitions is about finding New Zealands Champion pilots where all can play in  the same sandpit.

Keep it up
