Sounds interesting. Would you need an A Cert to take part?

[Fred]

I don't think so...

Quick question by the way.. Is it common to pay to participate to meetings / Nationals over here ?
I can understand this for a world championships (F3a, F4c and so on...), but for slope soaring...
Sorry, just my good old French attitude is back sometimes !  

By the way, Ralph, can you post the rules here for all classes ?

Hi Alan, no a cert needed here, just to observe the local rules.
Looking forward to seeing you. Please the idea is to get us all out on the slope together.
