TWO SEAT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AT NARROMINE IN FEBRUARY 2017

YES it's on again! The Narromine Gliding Club is delighted to have been chosen for the 5th consecutive year to host the Two Seat National Gliding Competition in 2017. The competition runs from Sunday 12th February 2017 to Sunday 19th February 2017 inclusive.

Practice day is Sunday 12th February and the first Competition day is Monday 13th February 2017.
HOT NEWS FOR ALL 2 SEAT GLIDERS!
Subject to sufficient entries the Competition will be run in two classes, 2 SEAT OPEN CLASS and 20m 2 SEAT CLASS. Same Rules, same Tasks, same Starts, separate scores and winners.
We have called it the 2 Seat Open Class because it is Open to any 2 seat glider.
It is not an FAI selection Championship so the $65.00 ITC levy is not payable which means the entry Fee is only $280.00 and that includes the FINAL DAY DINNER by BERYL and her team.
Even better, if you enter with a Junior Pilot then the entry fee is further discounted to only $200.00
• Fly your first competition in a relaxed comp atmosphere.
• Introduce a Junior member into competition flying.
• Introduce someone from your club to competition.
• Do some competition coaching.
• ASH 25, Nimbus 3D/DM, Nimbus 4D/DM pilots, fly a competition without those pesky 18M’s buzzing around.
• Or just enjoy yourself with a mate/partner/friend/fellow club pilot.
