Wendi Herman <<wendi.herman>>,
the meet organizer, has apparently been very successful when it comes to
organizing a competition that lots of pilots want to attend. This year it seems
like there is enough demand that she could have organized two
Corryong Cups and filled
them both up. Cameron Tunbridge tells me that she is a very focused and driven
meet organizer and knows how to get the job done. (I'm happy to provide the
scoring program and act as a consultant to the score keeper.)

The Corryong Cup is like the Team Challenge, a competition put on with the
express intention of bringing new pilots into the competition community. More
experienced pilots attend it with the intent of teaching the new pilots the
skills that they need to be safe and compete in the "higher grade" competitions.

The meet has been so successful that the South Australia hang gliding club is
now considering running a second version at the same location (Corryong) and
starting it the week before the regular Corryong Cup. That way there will in
essence be two Corryong Cups to try to meet the demand for more of these types
of competitions.

I was discussing "Sport Class" with Billo over dinner a few nights back. He
referred to it as "The Future of the Sport" Class.

Cameron, Blinky, and Hadewych were down at Corryong a couple of days ago, and
reported great flying conditions. Steve (Blinky) was apparently able to fly over
Mt Kosciuszko (actually within two kilometers) with Mart Bosman, taking off from Bright, in a sailplane below
him.
