Sven returns, Triumphant but confused!

For those that are not in the loop (!), our very own Sven Olivier claimed an outstanding 12th place in the Standard Class of the recent 2006 World Gliding Championships.

Well done, Sven, you had us sitting on the edge of our seats!

Rumour has it that some other pilots from South Africa also took part. I am not sure who started this rumour, but if there were, they aren't from the only club that counts! If you insist on quashing this rumour for yourself, try this link.

So, Sven, back from the razzle-dazzle of winging it with gliding's greats, seems to have forgotten when briefing for the Gauntlet is. I KNOW you know, but here's a poetical reminder:

That world class pilot named Sven
Has returned from the Worlds again
"Coach!", he asked
"When are we tasked?"
- "Saturday morning at ten!".

Bill and Randy: you are running out of excuses, but since I went of at half-cock (!) about Bill last month, here's one for Randy:

Our Randal is awfully fair
And we loved this man as our Chair
But if only his tum
Would learn to keep Mum
We could hear what he says in the air!

Come and see what funny winter woolies the Gauntleteers try to pull over our (and their!) eyes on Saturday.

Briefing (even for the unpoetical) is at 10h00.
