In email from Andy Schmidt today:-
Competition dates are 03/04/2026 - 06/04/2026, but we invite teams / pilots who are able to come a day or 2 early for some free flying practice.
Registration will be at the Birchip hotel from 6pm to 8pm on Thursday 2nd of April.
Get some mates together, dust-off you towing kit and come join in the fun flying amongst the mellow Autumn thermals.
This could be your last great opportunity to get some quality XC flying in before Winter.
Some of you guys may have already completed the entry form. You can see our current pilot list HERE.
There is a link to the entry form on the pilot list.
There are some minor changes to the entry form this year in two of the drop-down lists.
- Wing & Division: Select your glider model, and the division you would like to compete in.
ie: if you are flying a Litespeed you can only compete in Open class. A-grade pilots should select Open A
: if you are flying a Gecko you have the option of competing in Sport/Kingpost (recommended) or Open (competing in Topless class)
: if you are flying a Fun you have the option of competing in Floater , Floater V (recommended) or Sport/Kingpost (competing in Sport class)
Drivers can select 'I'm the team driver" here.
- Join Team: Select your team from a list of existing names.
If creating a new team then leave to 'Join team' field empty and use the 'new team name' field.
We have already ordered T-shirts based on sizes chosen last year. T-shirts will be allocated in order of entry & payment.
Late entrants may not get the size selected!
Please join the Whats App Group and Check out our Facebook group
We will be using the official SAFA waiver at this competition. You can download a copy HERE for your perusal.
We will have these on hand for everyone to complete at the registration.
If you have already signed one at Corryong this year you wont need to do it again.
Cheers from the committee
