OPEN THERMAL #6 BALLARAT 22 FEB 2015 and THERMAL LEAGUE UPDATE

This event went ahead with reduced numbers partly due to
 - Gerry recovering from minor surgery during the week.
 - Jim recovering from stepping on a large nail the night before.

From what I hear the conditions were hot, a bit windy, humid and overall pretty challenging making for a good competition. Everybody had at least two scores under 900 points! That's prectically unheard of.

David (Hobby) brought the landing spots, Marcus brought his computer and Tom was CD for the day. Thanks everybody.

The Ballarat club stepped up to help with line retrieval (and of course provided a feast at lunchtime) and everybody pitched in to make it work with seven pilots divided into two flight groups.
That way there were eight rounds flown on the day. Outstanding effort.

After the dust settled we had

1 David Hobby 7539.8
2 Tom Dupuche 7423.3
3 David Pratley 7364.0
