A huge thank you to Joe and his team at the Mid Canterbury Aeroclub for hosting us again this year. We have got a full compliment of categories open to fly in. Primary all the way through to Unlimited\, and the Vintage Class\, unique to the South Island Akro Fest. \nPlease read out latest Rules and Regulations \nENTRY FORM \nAccommodation: There are plenty of motel options in Ashburton. Mike Fowler has booked a large house\, about 10mins on the Western side of the Motorway. It will sleep 8-10 easy. Please contact him direct for account details and cost. Mike.fowler@inde.nz. We will have transport to the airfield from the house. It is an awesome spot\, a few of us stayed there for the Judges training weekend back in June. We will be hosting the Thursday evening BBQ there. \nTimetable: Please see the attached doc for the timetable. Pretty similar to previous years. \nWeather alternates: We do not have weather alternates for the event.

I personally will not be available for safety piloting during this event but will be happy to assist with training/practice away from the airfield outside of the competition schedule. \nRental aircraft: South Canterbury Aeroclub and Canterbury Aeroclub have very kindly made their Alphas\, ZK-VCC and ZK-VCF available for the event. Sarah has booked VCC already. Each pilot will need to contribute a set fee for contribution of the ferry cost. I will supervise sign-outs for both aircraft. Please advise if you would like to fly an Alpha. If we have more than 4 pilots asking for the Alpha will go ahead and book the second machine through SCAC. \nVolunteering: We are always looking for volunteers. Some of you are aware of your extra roles assisting on the judging line this time round. If you are interested\, please get in touch.
