Former Colonies Chardonay Cup postal contest, which the USA won last

Preliminary Report on Dubbo World Cup Contest [Australia]
---------------------------------------------
John Malkin reports ..
I was talking to Allan Edwards last night as I wanted to
know how their Easter Meeting went and apparently the weather was
better than we had but still difficult enough that only one contest
had a flyoff - F1B in which Zeri of course topped out. The two others
were Richard Blackam and Leigh Morgan. Apparently Al Brush missed
out for the Flyoff in the last round , due to waiting too long for some
good air. Verbitsky won F1C but not with a full house and of course
Victor Stamov won the F1A.
[editorial]
Note that this means that Zeri now has the Max score for F1B World Cup
i.e. 150 points so that everything is a tie breaker. He has a good head start
on main rivals Eimar, Roshnoks and Andruikov.
Leigh Morgan has to be the best performing lady flyer in F1B these days.
Besides the Pacific contests she performed well in European contests last
season. I can see some family rivalry developing here as she did better
than F1A flyer husband Vin. Vin produces a tracker that is very popular in
Australia and New Zealand.
Rumor Dept
----------
The is a rumor circulating that as the SAM Champs are at the same time as
the Team Finals, there may be a labor [i.e. timekeeper] shortage for the
finals. A possible solution is to change the date of the finals. Iknow of
people who have already made travel reservations for the current date
[15-19 Sept ?]. Wait for the word from the Team Selection Commitee.
