National Gliding Championships Taupo 2020

Taupo, Nouvelle-Zélande,   2 février 2020 – 15 février 2020

The Last Post

Well, what a dramatic last day. One had to feel sorry for the Contest Director having to make a call on a 50/50 day with so much at stake, but make a call he did, and 50/50 it was. Most of the Open class got around, and there was a significant shift in the placings. Most of the Racing class landed out, so there was no change in the placings. Congratulations to the two new National champions- well deserved wins to Patrick Driessen in the Open and Mark Wilson in the Racing class. A special vote of thanks and a light-hearted but sincere award was made to Peter Hartmann who won the Open class on points, but as a visiting overseas pilot was not eligible to be National Champion.

Prizegiving was held after a wonderful dinner at a Rotary House - a most enjoyable wind-up to a most enjoyable competition.
