This article was first published in the Adelaide University Gliding Club Inc Newsletter, Vol 3, April 1979.
Each year, the second week in February is a competition week at Horsham Victoria.
62 aircraft competed this year, including 16 sports class.
This gave Graham, Guy and Emilis a chance to meet od Adversaries:
The LO-150 old, flapped and dangerous in Kevin Olerhead's hands.[/dropcap]
The DART-17 in the hands of Bill and Di Simpson, potent but not unbeatable.
FOKA a powerful weapon in inexperienced hands.
SPRUCE GOOSE an outdated sailplane in very experienced hands.
OLIMPIA ditto...
Most of us flew 7 days, Graham stayed for two (lack of funds), Guy had 3 good days (enough to win) and retired.
Emilis had two second places, but also landed short of the finish line on two other days to score poorly overall.
Good fun nevertheless.
