Peter Deane To Compete in World Championships
Dear Region 11 pilots: March 29, 2010
As you may or may not know I will be helping represent the US in the Standard Class team for the World Championships this year in Slovakia.
This is a huge honor for me following in the long and proud tradition of Region 11 team members of past years such as Ray Gimmey, Rick Walters and Rick Indrebo. The US is sending a a full team to both Flapped and UnFlapped World Championships in Hungary and Slovakia respectively.
Average cost to each pilot will be about $12-15,000 and funding support from the SSA is quite limited, especially given the recent economic downturn - each championships year we have to hold fundraising events, bakesales, BBQ's and raffles to help defray the heavy costs of competing.
Please consider supporting the whole US Team by entering to win a new NK ClearNav (VGA resolution, a $2950 value). Chances are $25 each, enter as many times as you like!
Entry is on-line at the SSA website at
http://store.ssa.org/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=101
The entry deadline is Tuesday September 21, 2010 and the winner will be drawn on Thursday September 23 at the 2010 New Castle Contest.
If you prefer to enter by mail, send your check payable to “US Soaring Team” (Mail entries must be received no later than Monday September 20) to:
US Team ClearNav Raffle
c/o SSA
PO Box 2100
Hobbs, NM 88241-2100
Please indicate “ClearNav Raffle” clearly on your check.
Thank you for supporting the US Team!!
