On Saturday three intrepid GCC pilots dragged their gliders over to the nearby Nympsfield to take part in the 'Rockpolishers' inter-club competition. A creditable performance saw the team placed joint second on the day, only one point away from glory and winning the day! Paul Gentil, flying his SHK-1 in the Pundit category, was second fastest around NYM - Great Witley - Silverstone - Lower Clopton - Nymspfield Finsih East, 268 km. Eugene Lambert (the author), flying his Libelle 201B in the Intermediate category, was third fastest around NYM - Great Malvern - Ettington - Nympsfield Finish East, 160 km. Robin Davenport, flying his Cirrus 75 in the novice category, scored some useful points in an attempt on NYM - Broadway - NYM, before 'making like a homing pigeon' and landing back at Aston Down!

Anyway, it just shows what is achievable if we actually field a team!
