The High pressure was stabilising out on the SW peninsula, and there was a wish to get all the competitors home early for scoring before the prize giving and Anniversary party.
The Eurofox demonstrator arrived at North Hill ready to show off its fuel-efficient aerotow launches.
A task was set of 'Ever Decreasing Circles' consisting of a series of out and returns to a set of concentric rings round North Hill at 20 km, 40 km, 60 km and 80 km, repeating to closer rings within 3 hours of start or 5pm.
Matt in ASW24 M5 was second on the day achieving the 80 km ring O/R, Ron's total was 120 km giving him 11th position on handicap, Liam and his logger were tired (after the previous days 7.5 hour epic flight) and distance to Yeovil and nearly back unfortunately wasn't recorded and even Facebook didn't have any photos to help the Scorer.
Flying over, now on to Unveiling the Commemorative Plaque Ceremony and Anniversary Party...
DSGC Members and Competition Enterprise Pilots gathered at the DSGC entrance and Gillian Wills unveiled a Commemorative Plaque,
" Dear Friends,
Today, when so many of yesterday's values have been undermined by the cultures of celebrity, notoriety, invasive bureaurocracy and political correctness, we remember with pride John Fielden and Philip Wills, and their steadfast belief in the worth of human endeavour and individual freedom.
We have come together to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the formation of the Devon and Somerset Gliding Club and the 40th Anniversary of the inception of Competition Enterprise and it is with pleasure that I unveil this commemorative plaque." Gillian Wills
