Message from the Director

Dear Competitor

Thank you for entering the 18 metre Nationals at The Gliding Centre from the 16th June to 24th June.

I’m really looking forward to directing the competition, and together with the support of a strong and experienced team, our aim is to host a safe, fair, and competitive competition, but most of all, an enjoyable event.

Husbands Bosworth is a great site to hold a competition, with international recognition as a result of hosting European Women’s and World Junior championships. The local airspace is relatively free, giving us the ability to set tasks in most directions to take advantage of the weather, and the airfield has plenty of space, even when close racing leads to mass finishes. We also have excellent facilities, with a clubhouse, restaurant, briefing room and a warm shower block!

Please note, your non refundable deposit of £90 (£45 for Junior’s) is due by the 15th March 2012 with the balance of £175 (£85 for Junior’s) due by the 14th April. Payment can be made by calling the office on 01858 880521 with your card details or alternatively, by cheque payable to The Gliding Centre and posted to:

Sarah Holton
The Gliding Centre
Husbands Bosworth Airfield
Lutterworth

Please also note that under the 2012 Entry Procedures, pilots who are late in paying the deposit may be liable to an additional charge of £15. Late payment of the balance due may also result in a further charge of £25, so please make you payment as soon as possible to avoid these charges.

I look forward to seeing you at Hus Bos.

Kind regards

Ron Bridges
Competitor Director
