Congratulations to John, Jade, Terry and Peter... a bloody good effort!
Especially when you consider that Peter and Terry were (I assume) flying a
DG-200 and LS3... not what most people would consider 1000k ships.
And the weather is heading our way :))

Subject: [Aus-soaring] No sea breeze at Gawler today
The temp trace this morning looked good thermals to 19,000' winds at the
lower levels from the north east and moderating during he morning.
This prompted a race for the Aerodrome this morning to claim aircraft.
Flights of note John Nicholls Discus 760 km out and return to Parachilina
in five hours 152 Km/hr
Terry Cubley a 1040 km Triangle North To Death Rock East to Redcilffe
South east of Mildura 9.5 hrs 109 Km/hr max alt 13000'
Peter Temple out and return to Farina 1017km @118 Km/hr on the way home he
500km averaging 160 Km/hr max ht 17000' still some distance below cloud
base.
For those interested you may wish to view the Australian gliding records
page because I think Peter may have broken or set 3 Australian records.
Jade Palmer a Junior pilot got her Gold height with a climb to 14500'
Club members were able to watch the flights of Terry on his 1000k flight
and Sean Jorgensen-Day on a Local 300km flight on Silent Wings Viewer The
System that will be used During the Grand Prix to watch the pilots racing
around the various tasks thanks to
Internode systems Pty Ltd a national Internet provider among other IT
initiatives.

You will not be able to get the simulation of the glider flying in the
grand prix until the practise days 28-29 Dec. I suggest you log in a few
days before to down load the Australian scenery and get used to using the
Programme.
Unfortunately I was involved in supervising the flying a new generation
of glider pilots from the Australian Air Force Cadets in a motor glider
and was on the ground all day.
