There are few prizes in gliding - here is a new one.
This from the manufacturers of the JS1 in conjunction with Dick Bradley

Jonker Sailplanes and Soaring Safaris are pleased to announce a new prize for South African glider pilots. Jointly sponsored by Jonker Sailplanes and Soaring Safaris, the prize is intended to encourage and reward up and coming pilots. The prize is one week’s gliding at New Tempe, including use of a glider, launches and coaching.

The Prize:
· One week flying an LS4 or similar glider with Soaring Safaris (dates to be agreed)
· Seven aerotows
· Task planning, post-flight analysis and cross-country coaching
· Free camping at New Tempe Airfield

Rules:
1. Scoring is based on the OLC system and handicaps, limited to out & returns and triangles.

3. A pilot’s total score for the JS-SS Challenge is the sum of the pilot’s three best flights.
4. Minimum qualifying score is 600 points.
5. Eligibility: pilots who have not achieved a top three placing at a National contest, or who have not previously won the JS/SS Challenge, or have not completed a declared 500km task.

Good luck.

And it is aimed at the up and coming pilots!! 560 points in one flight would be Renosterhoek - Huguenot Tunnel - Renosterhoek - FAWC in an Astir. Now put 3 of those together and you are set for a week's flying with Dick.
Go for it.!!!!!!!
