2026 Central Districts Gliding Championships

Waipukurau, New Zealand,   14 February 2026 – 21 February 2026

And we wait!

Once again the weather Gods have not played ball. Typically, if you want rain organise a gliding competition.

Currently we are now waiting for a storm system to go through which will hopefully pass by Tuesday. The rest of the week then looks promising..........fingers crossed.
