Wasn't Gary Stenhouse down to run this comp this year. Is there enough interest Ronnie? It would be a shame if ye olde HG Club Comp was to disappear.

John, Gary and Ronnie discussed the HG comp at the last meeting.
If Acro was easy they'd call it Cross Country

yes i was supposed to be the comp for the hg but i think i did loose a bit of enthusiasum after my accident. i would still like to get something going for the next couple of weeks. though wether i personaly compete is another thing as i have not realy flown since my accident.

why not reserve every sunday from now on untill we get it in as i think the number of hg pilots is so few and i think the sunday is the best day for most.

so that is every sunday untill it is done

all help grately appreciated

cheers gary

This Sunday forcast is not looking good for HG and its too short notice for me but Ok for the next.

Come on hanggies... there are still quite a few in the club ! Gary, don't shy off... this will be your first HG comp and I bet its not the last !

The tasks should not be set too high (pun) so everybody can join in, probably a glide angle task... (joking)
