I'm with you Phil, but I know a few that are not!
AST needs some skills that are being lost, multi-class will continue to have
some while some of us can keep it that way!
And there is always the GP! :]

I'm looking forward to the Club Class nationals in Lake Keepit next month.
Dave Shorter sent out some information which included the rules. I was looking
at task types and found the following.
The national rules on task setting state the following:
22.3 Task Types may be chosen from any two or more of the types specified in
the authorised attachments
to these Rules provided that the chosen task type:
is authorised by NCC for the contest and
is published in the Local Rules
(The authorised attachment lists three types of tasks: Assigned Speed, Assigned
area and Run tasks)
The Local rules state that
11. TASKS: Tasks shall be Assigned Area Tasks.
Not withstanding the confusing wording of rule 22.3 I was wondering why
Assigned Speed Tasks aren't used in Club Class? At the world Club Class they
are, and since Australia changed the rules several years ago so that only
gliders that meet the world club class handicaps are eligible couldn't we also
do the same. I ask because without a doubt in my opinion AST is still the most
fun sort of racing. The limited handicap range makes the task type feasible
where previously it wasn't.
Does anybody out there know why we don't and would they be willing to enlighten
me?
Curious
