State Open Thermal Contest Report

The SA State Thermal Contest was held over the past weekend with a good attendance, including Darrel and Garry making the pilgrimage from Mildura. Again, Darrel blow took home the win (his second in a row or maybe third) in some windy conditions. Some noteworthy results from Jim McDougall with his Aspire, and a new improved Joe Rufenacht who has recently had some obviously vision clearing eye surgery. It was also great to see some relative newcomers, Gavin Bowden and Robert Gunn, enjoying themselves. Thanks to SSL on what was another very successful event.
