thirded!
Thanks to everyone for making it such a friendly contest, and all the
organisers at Temora GC for making us so welcome and putting on such a
great comp in less than ideal conditions.
And thanks to Mac and Co for showing me how it should be done!
Next stop Kingaroy!

The comp started in soggy conditions with trailers unable to be parked
in the grass areas which were under water. Gliders were rigged in the
cold and wet of the practise day which was blown out with 25kts of
wind. We set tasks and gridded gliders using hard surfaces only as the
entire grass areas on the aerodrome were unusable. On the first day we
only bogged two cars and one glider but we achieved a competition day.
Day 2 proceeded the same then it rained some more and the wind blew.
The Temora ground marshals managed the impossible and herded the wild
cats into gridding on narrow bitumen and car parks without destroying
the airfield grass or losing crew and cars in the bog holes. Today we
managed the extraordinary by gridding about 30 gliders on an active
runway, vacating the grid of all personnel for the Aviation Museum
flying display and had gliders launching within about 15 minutes of
the last museum aircraft display.
Five days of challenging and rewarding flying and happy pilots at the
dinner tonight.
