k2x Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The season is fast approaching it's end, and at one place or another plans are being made for the next season. The date for next years Vest Pokal has been set, it will take place on 04./05.05.2019. Friedmar and Achim have agreed to make it part of the World Cup and the Euro Contest Tour. So make a note in your schedule, everything else at the beginning of the new year. Cheers Ulrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechalster Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am planning on being there again. Those who have not been this is a very well organised and run contest and should be on your bucket list. Any more uk pilots interested. This is a relatively easy contest to get to from the uk. Us northerners normally travel from Hull to Hook of Holland on the over night ferry which is great fun if anyone wants to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2x Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 There are now 4 weeks left in the registration period. We currently have 49 registrations. I wonder, who will be the next registration. Who ever it might be, he (or she?) will be my guest for the dinner on saturday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2x Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 The last week of the registration period has started. So the late deciders better hurry up and get registered. You don't want to miss the 20th edition of the german open F3K, don't you? The 50th registration came from the UK, but what about the other Brits? Preparation is on the final stretch, the buffet has been ordered, the helpers are booked, just the case for the new Gliderscore display has to be finished.

k2x Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 If you're looking for scores:http://www.gliderscore.com/OnLineScores.aspx Weatherwise it could be worse. Two rain break so far and the wind isn't as strong as predicted. But sometimes real heavy gusts go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cirrusRC Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Ulrich - thank you so much for your hospitality and and help during the weekend. I appreciate how much effort you all put into organising such a brilliant event. Well done! To echo Mike and Neil's comments from last year, if your looking to enter a much bigger event than UK flyers are used to. And to compete against some of the top pilots in Europe then the Vest Pokal comes highly recommended. You will learn a huge amount from such an event. The conditions were incredibly varied, we pretty much had everything. Hail/sleet, thunder, rain, sun, cloud, booming lift, dead air, tent flattening wind. Even had ice Sunday morning. The standard of flying was very humbling. I flew OK on the Saturday with a few crucial mistakes, but the Sunday I was totally outclassed. The lift was marginal and I couldn't do anything with it. I think being an official timer in the fly off was more stressful than actually flying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
