2026 Central Districts Gliding Championships

Waipukurau, Nieuw-Zeeland,   14 februari 2026 – 21 februari 2026

Thursday - task setters nightmare

With the weather conditions predicted to be largely blue with lift potentially in places at times, the task setter called it a nightmare day to try and set a fair task so called no task. Local flying was possible and there were visible signs of wave later in the day but all pilots stayed on the ground. The highlight of the day was a BBQ lamb meal provided by one of the local gliding club members followed by a blackberry and apple crumble.
