All Done
Its Sunday morning and the 2017 NSWGA Championships are over for another year. Almost all the fleet gone on its way.
A final competition dinner saw thanks to administrators from pilots for a smoothly run competition.
Also thanks to pilots and visitors from admistrators for cooperation and safe behaviour.
See you at the next one.
Safe travels.
Day 5 ( last day)
All classes with shorter tasks today for last day of competition. Open /18 and Std/ 15 on 3 hour AAT's. Big circles so distances 250k - 520k possible for both big wings, and Std/15. Clubbies have 2:30 hr to go around a 150 k - 300 k route. All gliders in the air on time and first gliders expected back after 3:20.

Day Cancelled
Approaching front this afternoon has led task setters to recommend a day off. Many pilots seem almost quietly pleased as the first four days have been long and wearying. Standout for Day 4 was a smashing 742 kms in just over 5 hours from Adam Woolley ( 147 kph). Well done.

Day 4
Another bright sunny day, hot before the expected change tomorrow. Big day predicted with big tasks to the north west. Big wings get 5 hour AAT that might even fit a 750 if the weather really supported it. Standard / 15 get a 4:30 AAT and Clubbies inside them on 4:00. First gliders in the air at 11:45, and last gate expected open at about 13:15.
