Practice Day: Sat. 10th December 2011
Compulsory Briefing: Sun. 11th December 2011 @ 19.00 hrs
Competition Days: 11th – 22nd December 2011
Prize giving: Thurs. 22nd December 2011 – time t.b.a.
Bulletin 1:
1. Early payment, and notification of your planning to compete, is essential and will be appreciated so that the relevant organizational arrangements can be made.
2. Last year there were several competing pilots, who were doing more than their fair share of the necessary work. We would like to have some keen and eager volunteers to assist with some of the tasks, in order to spread the load.
3. Competing pilots should have their own crew member, if at all possible. It is not fair to expect the handful of those who are crewing, to run around for all those who do not have crew. Please ask around at your own Clubs for anyone who is willing to be at the Nationals to assist both you and the organization.
4. Gliders carrying water are advised that they may NOT dump water on the scale. They must go-around and join the queue again having dumped the water off the scale.
5. Requirements for the S.African licence validations for overseas competitors are unknown as regulations are currently changing. It is hoped to have more clarity for Bulletin 2, due early in October.
