There is no airspace of concern in the task area?
Start points in the turnpoint file are the old ones.

Hi Chris
The airspace file was provided to the organizers by a highly experienced
competition pilot and the CD felt that the turnpoint file developed by Miles
Gore-Brown previously gave the task setters a whole lot of flexibility to set
tasks according to the weather variables. There are no real airspace issues
tasking out of Narromine so it wasn’t felt necessary to assign a “playing
field” as such in the airspace file but rather to provide a file that
identified all the CTAFR and Danger Area airspace restrictions that are present
locally and are generally only activated by NOTAM. There is really no
Restricted Airspace in the realistic task areas out of Narromine. I have
personally uploaded the airspace file to my iPaq running Winpilot and have
found no problem with it at all.
I am left wondering what your issue is in real terms.
Regards, ROSS

Narromine Nationals Competitors,
The Narromine Nationals web site has links to the turnpoint and airspace files
(see below) which from my point of view have issues
* For those WinPilot users there are issues with the official airspace
file because it is too large. It looks like it covers the whole continent.
* The official turnpoint file looks like one Miles put together for
record flying out of Narromine many years ago. From my point of view it is not
suitable in its current form.
The joeyglide 2010 airspace and turnpoint files for Narromine look much better.

50th MultiClass Nationals Preparation Finalised:
We're All Set!! the organisation is all in place and we are ready to go.
All sections of the website
www.narromineglidingclub.com.au/Narromine50/MultiClass2012.html are fully
functional.
The rules, handicaps, turnpoints, airspace files are all on the site and are
available for download.
The website has the facility to upload your log files directly to the scorer
from your web browser and you can check the scores online with a single click.
The weather page is comprehensive and apart from the daily met briefing each
day provided by the competition organizers you will be able to do your own
forecasting well ahead of time.
If you want to follow the progress of the pilots during the task each day you
will be able to track them with the SPOT device directly from the website.
If you haven’t registered for the competition yet there are still a few places
available and you will be very welcome to join the fun. You can download the
entry form from the website and email it back to the comp organizers.
It promises to be a great Comp! We hope you enjoy it and have fun.
ROSS
