Great idea Garth ..Also good ideas from Ken and Mike.
A new tread is in order !! ;D
Interest is growing in thermal, and DLG is the essence of Man and Machine.
Congrats Ken on your new blaster.

Great idea. We need some local low key comps. I reckon anything which has a fun comp aspect is always a buzz, gets everyone excited. Even on the slope, having 2 flags or limbo ribbon and a comp to see how many times you can fly thru in 3 mins can keep you enthralled for hours. I'd love F3F comps too!
Re: the BR site, I don't know what the situation is. I know that they're planning to build thousands of houses in that area (from there to the rail line) but I suspect that park will be left as open ground. It's possible that if we asked (Dept Housing) we might be able to get permission, and it could even lead to a long-term glider club arrangement. But I'm rather overloaded now so it would be nice to see someone else step up and make those enquiries.

Garth, also I don't think you'd need to pay for the use of a footy field etc. There are plenty of spots we could get for free. I have some friends with a farm in Dayboro Valley for example, which could be good.

Am confused. Why are we on a new thread? What was wrong with the original ..'DLG FUN DAY COMP'...where this discussion was started? Can't keep track if we keep starting new threads on the same topic.
