Even with the smaller field of competitors this year all these volunteer positions still need to be covered.
We expect to launch 25 competitors on the first day(Monday).
4 * Open Class
8* 18metre
13 * Standard/15 metre
There is no club class at this competition is a seperate contest being held in Matamata in February.
Two years ago the equivalent competition attracted 38 contestants. The economic situation is obviously affecting many. I assume this, because I cannot believe we have lost 13 competition pilots from the happy band of adrenalin junkies.
Keep it up
