The upcoming weekend is shaping up to be quite good. Grand Final Friday climbs in the blue to 5,000 feet starting before 2 pm. The Saturday forcast is promising thermals to heights in excess of 8,000 feet. That will be the best for this season to date and I hope for a big gliding weekend. The Eurofox is back in action. Why not come out on Friday already (Grand Final holiday) and make it worthwhile for the tuggy.

I would like to recommend to the committee to consider the Victorian Government Container Deposit Scheme due to be introduced in November. Aside from our own collections at the club as we now do,we can register as a community group. To Quote: It’s a new and accessible way for charities and community groups to raise money: • collecting containers for refunds • running container collection drives • receiving donations – people will be able to donate their refunds to their favourite registered group • running a refund collection point. https://www.vic.gov.au/container-deposit-scheme Regards Peter

Here's a picture of Phil in the Nymph which had three launches on Sunday. We regularly fly vintage gliders here and the Eurofox seems ideal for the task. I find that vintage gliders are sometimes subject to effects of prop wash and that a high tow seems better. Does anyone else prefer high tows in vintage gliders?
