Surprise over development catches field in thefields. That\'s a quick way to summarise the day.

We launched to a lovely looking sky, and thingswere progressing well. Our top turn point was a 5km circle around Kaihere, andthe bottom turn point 10km circle around Arapuni.

The top turn point well and truly over developedas we all arrived. 4 of the 7 landed in paddocks. Actually it was 5 thanks toBill in the Lak who wasn\'t competing, but didn\'t want to miss out onthe action. Dennis was also following the group in XP, andthoughtfully decided to drop the task and do our scoring. Eventually just 2competitors made it back to the airfield, the rest were retrieves.

A big congrats to Robin Britton for making itback to the airfield, winning the day, and being the only competitor tocomplete the course set. Maurice Honey also made it back,but accidentally missed the bottom turn point.

After all the gliders were put back together Janput on a beautiful roast chicken dinner. Thanks heaps again Jan!
