If anyone has an idea for getting more PW5's to Matamata for February 2003 then the organisers will be happy to assist where possible. The field size is currently limited to 50 sailplanes.
Work continues at the airfield with fences being pulled down to make way for more aircraft parking.
New hangars are being erected. Progress is happening. The organisers are pleased with progress so far. We have had it agreed by Gliding New Zealand that the World Class Pre World event in February 2002 can be held in conjunction with the New Zealand national all class Championships. We have indications already of some overseas pilots who are wishing to attend.
