Yesterday's tomorrow wasn't another day!
A somewhat difficult day. Difficult for the weather-man (John Orton) but easy for the task-setter (Terry Cubley) to abandon any hope of a State Championship task. There are still some pilots who blame the weather-man for the weather so the hanging-noose was out at briefing. There had been talk of the traditional sacrifice but instead it was proposed to sacrifice the nearest Western Australian pilot.
Orange Week pilots however are a cut above the rest and relished the chance to squeeze the most from the challenging conditions so an Orange Week task was set. John Orton was at the front of the grid, mainly, we think, to avoid the hanging mob.
Another OLC-Plus task was set and again the glory went to the Juicing Grade/Club Class pilots. Only one fresh Grade/18m class pilot (Gordon Trollip) flew despite the chance to earn significant bonus points. The quest for orange Week points saw two pilots out-land but were both home in time for dinner.
Result
1st - John Orton (SZD 55)
2nd - Gordon Trollip (Ls6)
3rd -Steve Jinks (Standard Cirrus)
