Narromine Cup 007

Eleven years on and the Narromine Cup started early with some of the southern visitors arriving 3 days prior to the first day. The spirit of the cup week continues to attract pilots for a week of fun and safe flying mixed with seminars and a chance to catch up with gliding friends.

Up to 50 pilots attended with representation from 9 countries along with visitors from Victoria, Queensland and West Australia. Many clubs now use this week as an annual camp for cross country soaring. It is pleasing to see club coaches and a number of cross country novices mixing with the experienced championship pilots. The weather turned to storms later in the week.  Flights of up to 800klms were entered into the on line competition. Many pilots achieved their Silver, Gold and Diamond badges.

Terry Bellair was the Narromine Cup winner, Ed Marel was the winner of the most improved pilot and Ben Loxton was the best junior. Mike Popjoy and  Mark Bland flew in again from Leeton with Mike in the Blanik and Mark in the Libelle. Frances Ning won the Hanley award for the most outstanding retrieve.

Chris Stephens led the group of volunteers that make up the Narromine Club workers. During the morning briefing Chris hands out awards and prizes collected from around the world especially for the cup week along with his daily joke. Marcia Cavanagh the GFA secretary made her annual pilgrimage to help Beryl Hartley and Yvonne Hunt in the kitchen. David Wilson provided a daily weather briefing. Nick Hunt, Pam Kurstjens, Bernie Baer, Geoff Vincent and Beryl Hartley presented morning seminars.

The upgrade to the wireless internet set up by Mal Bruce assisted with the increasing use of the on line competition. The Narromine Cup is held over the last full week in November each year and all visitors are welcome. Check out the web site Narromineglidingclub.com.au for dates and information on this fun week of gliding.
