The start line is open by typical word GO! and all the pilots went on course. The weather is reasonably good there so we expect less problems to complete the task comparing to yesterday.

The launch started as planned and all gliderswere in the air in less than 30 minutes. Now we all wait for start line openning which is announced at 14:15. Pilots are having no problem to stay high. We believe that the rest of the task it will be similar.

Weather is improving faster than expected. It is fine to the north as well so have just recently decided to extend the task A by some 50km. Task B will be available to pilots in few minutes and the first launch is expected at 13:30. There can be a slight delay, but according to skythis is highly unlikely.

The decision is clear after the second briefing at 12:00. We will fly. The grid is open from 10:00 and all gliders are on runway 33. now. The task have been published. It is set to the south because of fast improving conditions in that area. The lenght is adjusted to possibility of late take offs. In this case there will be still possiblity reasonably complete the task with departures after 15:30.

Good morning. The skies are dark now. We had strog tunderstorm during the night connected with cold front. There is chance for blue skies to the west and we hope this weather will come to during late afternoon. The first weather briefing will be as usualy at 10:00. There will be the second one at 12:00 with more information about the possibility to fly today.
