French team for Argentina :

This week-end was planned the team selection contest with the usual format, 14 flights on two days.

Saturday the weather was fair but rather windy, wind speed increasing regularly during the day. Sunday dawned with an already strong wind. We waited till 10am and then cancelled all the day because wind speed was well over the official limit.

So accordingly to our rule, the saturday's 7 flights were aggregated with our Nat's 7 flights.

The resulting team consists of:

F1A: Edgar BERNARD, Francois MOREAU,Guillaume VAUCELLES.

F1B: Jean-Claude CHENEAU, Didier BARBERIS, Eloïse RIGAULT.

F1C: Pierre MARROT, Bernard BOUTILLIER, Michel REVERAULT.

Hoping that no financial or administrative occurs !!!
