Only a few days until the start of the 4th Club Class and 5th World
Class World Gliding Championships (WGC) to be held in Vinon, France
from July 14 to the 29th. There are forty Club Class entries from
twenty countries while the World Class has twenty entries from eleven
countries. Vinon is known for its technical mountain flying and good
weather so this WGC should prove to be a challenging site for these
World Gliding Championships.

Team Captain Susan McAllister will be providing coverage of the US
teams direct from the championships using a Blog. Susan has used the
Blog format very successfully in the past and this year's coverage of
the US team promises to be interesting and informative as our teams go
for the gold in France.
