BACKGROUND

This program has been adopted by the AFFS committee as the best option for our 2018 event schedule. Due consideration was given to the following:

 

1. NSWFFS request at our AGM for a compressed AFFS program prior to the Nationals.

2. FFONZ request to again hold the TUI Cup at Narrandera.

3. Name change of Dave Anderson Memorial to Widgiewa Cup to reflect the locality * (see footnote).

4. Retention of the attraction for overseas competitors of 3 World Cup Rounds in one location.

5. Minimising the travel requirements for interstate competitors. (Note: MAAA approval will be sought by AFFS to include all World Cup Event scores in the trial period for the 2019 World Championships).

6. F1/ABC Event rounds will all be flown on the one day.

7. Some AFFS Events e.g. Open Power, Open Rubber, Oz Diesel have been omitted for this year’s program only as they will be held within the NSWFFS Nationals the following week.

8. Some local events e.g. Combined % Open, Combined HLG/CLG/TLG, Scramble, Combined Vintage have been retained within the program to maintain some events for non FAI flyers.

9. The Event Schedule timing lies close to the optimal weather window (Temp & wind) for the year at Narrandera and is around the traditional period that AFFS would normally hold its events.

10. Retention of our mandatory AGM meeting requirement.

11. Retention of our World Famous Banquet at Morundah Pub !!

 

 

 

*Footnote: 

* The place name Widgiewa is derived from the local Aboriginal word meaning "What do you want?"  (The Answer for AFFS is easy: Great Free Flight Competitions!!!)
