Welcome to the October GNZ newsletter.
Can we say the soaring season has started?
I think we can.
Daylight savings has kicked in and the usual wild spring weather mix is giving us a bit of everything with lots wind, rain, sun, wave, ridge and thermal.
The GNZ event calendar also springs into life later this month with the MSC Cross Country and Coaching course, Labour Weekend events and the first competition of the season, getting underway in Taupo on October 30th.
Time to give that favourite gliding hat its annual wash and brush up on those home field short landing skills in preparation for this seasons first out landings.
Spare a thought for those in Auckland who are still eagerly awaiting news from Aunty Cindy that they will be allowed out to play.
May the lift be with you.
