--As your new competitions committee member, having stood down from safety at the AGM, I'd like to invite ALL pilots (yes, that means you!) to take part in a paragliding competition in 2015. The likes of Kirsty, Adrian, Emile, Richard et al. seem to manage ok on their own so this is really aimed at the rest of us, especially those of us who have yet to fly in a competition. The competition I have in mind is the GIN Wide Open to be held in Tolmin in the beautiful Soča Valley in Slovenia from 4 to 11 July 2015. The reason for telling you about this now is that registration opens at 1pm on Boxing Day (26 December 2014) and there is a strict limit of 120 places allocated on a first come first served basis. Registration is free and is NOT a commitment to take part, but does get your foot in the door. For more details have a look at the website: http://www.flywideopen.org/index.html Here's its opening paragraph:
"The GIN Wide Open is first and foremost a fun paragliding competition and flying event. Less about flying the latest hot-ships and more about achievable tasks. Less about winning and more about fun flying in a stress-free environment."
Re ALL pilots, the competition is open to those who have the FAI equivalent of a Pilot rating or above (IPPI 4 or above). So, if you currently have a CP now is the time to get the books out, pass your Pilot exam in the spring, get some xc flying under your belt and join us in July! Most people who attend have never done it before and for about a third it's their first ever competition. The majority fly on EN B (DHV 1/2) wings.
In the months leading up to the competition I hope to organise training sessions with seasoned competition veterans to prepare us for the excitement to come. Subjects could include GPS use, how a comp works, how not to come last etc etc.
