Well we made it to day nine!! Another early start, and set up on the grid before the briefing at 10am. Another two tasks set, Task ’A’ 140km.

However, it wasn’t meant to be, after waiting on the grid until 12:30, the day was scrubbed. Such a shame we couldn’t achieve nine days of flying, but eight out of nine is amazing, and what a competition. Dan achieved a final placing of twentieth out of forty-two competitors, an excellent result for his first competition, and with a new found love of competition flying, I’m sure the boy will be back next year.
Junior Nationals 2023 (UK Junior Gliding)
We packed the glider away safely in the trailer before the rain came through, then attended the prize giving and after party.

A big thanks to everyone who contributed to hosting the event at Gransden Lodge, we really appreciate how much work goes on behind the scenes! Another big thank you to Gordon Hutchinson for making it all possible, and to the Ian Beckett fund for providing some financial support. - Sally Hender
