It occurred to me when I got home last night that I hadn’t put anything on the blog. It was a busy day.
We now have 50 pilots here, it looks like we will have a final field of 53.
There was a lot of registering and weighing yesterday.
Graham, John and Narelle put in a big effort in the Dalby Air Maintenance hangar to weigh over 40 gliders.
We launched 36 gliders, some attempted the task, some turned back as it all got a bit damp and blue out west.
Val arrived in WPS mid afternoon and immediately started towing.
Late in the day Lex arrived back in TOJ after towing all day at
Steve is due here this morning with SPA from Caboolture.
Last night we had the welcome function at the Country Club Hotel, one of our sponsors.
We had 70 people there who enjoyed an excellent meal.
DDSC president Pam Kurstjens welcomed everyone to the 49th Multi-class nationals.
On behalf of all the sponsors Helen Wood from TMS Consulting wished everyone a safe and successful competition.
Official practice day today.
Initial briefing at 9.00, followed by the official opening by the Mayor of Western Downs Region, Cr Ray Brown at 9.30.
