With F3J first up (one of the winch events) is scheduled so we have sufficient help for F3B the following day to run the course. F5J has been split into two days to cover if we have a weather issue, we should still get a result in this popular discipline. This year the Nats will be in the Waipukurau area with the field location still to be advised. This will, as usual, be one of the Soaring SIG%u2019s premier events.NZ Soarchamps.Mark your calendar now, put in for your leave and come and fly at the 2025 NZ Soarchamps from the 16th to 19th of October. To be flown in sunny Hawkes Bay at the Black Soaring History:It was 1992 %u2013 Lower North Island Thermal Tri-Series. Thanks to Wayne Bilham for sharing this bit of history. Unfortunately, there are a few pilots on the list that are not with us anymore.
