THE 2011 1-26 CHAMPIONSHIP AND PW-5 MOULD CLASS NATIONAL

摘要

The 1-26 and PW-5 contest was held May 30 through June 8 in Kendallville, IN. Our 15-mem-ber soaring club, the Kendallville Soaring Club, was the hosts and organizers for the contest. Jerry Steffen, our club president also filled the slot for the Contest Director. This was our first time hosting a contest, and as you can imagine, there was an incredible amount of work that had to be done. The one thing that we had no control over though, was the weather. Leading up to the contest, we had rain, rain, more rain, and then... some rain. We could not get the mowers out on the soft ground and it was clear that at least for the start of the week, all operations were going to be on the pavement. Even up to the arrival day on May 29, the weather was challenging us.
