Scott, start your planning with a local plots event and follow with a Qualifying event.
At the moment the Australian Qualifying Grand Prix is running at my Australian club. It's the second time that the AQGP has been at Lake Keepit. A Standard Class GP is being run 1 hour behind the AQGP, but is under-subscribed.
A club event run primarily to introduce LKSC members to the GP concept was enjoyed by many pilots. With some advice from experienced GP people, this type of event should be easy to get started with.
There were at least five pilots entered in the AQGP who flew in the WGC at Uvalde, but it appears not many pilots have shown up. Sorry, I don't have a link to the SPOT page yet.
