Day 5 - Thursday 18th February 2016

The weather again did not play ball with cloud, rain, drizzle and strong winds forecast from ground level and increasing with altitude. Flying was thus again cancelled with Friday looking possible and Saturday and Sunday likely.

Today the local newspaper, the HB Today, and radio station, CentralFM, ran reports and results on the contest to date which gave the gliding movement some publicity.

There is a contest Facebook page with some photos of this year event at https://www.facebook.com/Central-Districts-2016-1446185128931470/photos_stream courtesy of Trev Terry.
