NOTES
We were lucky to have incredibly good weather, sunny and calm. We had a record entry, but despite finishing close to 3 p.m. many people just wanted to stay and chat and fly! It was great to have the four glider guiders from DMAC join us. They did very well, even if Dave kept eyeing the thermals he wanted to go off and chase from time to time.
Thanks to Ian Morris and Johan Britz, who joined in the judging. Johan had judged many years ago, and had also learnt from being a scribe at the Klerksdorp nationals. He carried off the task of judging the F3A P and F patterns very well. Ian Morris is also an experienced pattern flyer from many years ago. Both ended up giving scores for each flight within a few points of those of Des.
A good standard of flying all round guys.
