Dodd Fell (east) is not in the sites guide but site information will be given at the briefing if we do go there. It will require a capable 4wd to access TO

Stags Fell is also 4wd but a 2wd may get up if there is enough grip. This is a members only site for which we have the club and estate management permission to use for during the week of the competition use only. PLEASE READ THE SITE RULES BEFORE SATURDAY!!

There are lots of sites that may look suitable on the wind rose but for various reasons they are not suitable for a competition

Its my great pleasure to announce the team selected for the Sports Class competition in Laveno, Italy this June.

Team Captain: Gary Wirdnam

Team Members: Tim Swait and Graham Phipps

Reserves: Richard Milla and Doug Neil

I'm sure everyone will agree this is a fantastically strong team and will be glued to the livetracking willing them on.

Applicants are invited to fly as part of the British Team in this year's Sports Class Worlds.

The team will be selected by the process described in the Panels Constitution.

However due to the small team size (3) and the unusual nature of the Team Captains role, the panel will round up (to 2) the number of automatic selection places leaving 1 place for discretionary selection as specified in the constitution.

Additional places may become available to compete in the competition so all interested pilots are recommended to register as soon as possible.  However any additional places allocated will not be included in the team score.  

Pilots should read the local rules before registering as there are specific exclusions for gliders and prior CAT 1 participation. The local rules are still in draft and have not yet been approved by the FAI.

Please send your application along with your case for selection and your suggestions (and reasons) for the other two team places to the panel (hgcompspanel@gmail.com)

By applying for team places pilots are agreeing to comply with the Panels code of conduct. 

Please send your application by valentines day…otherwise known as the 14th Feb 2025.  The panel will meet and notify pilots of their selection by early march. The two automatic selection pilots will be invited to attend the meeting to provide input to the remaining selection.
