| The Dan Smith Memorial Trophy - 2001
Well - Saturday
wasn't too auspicious .... but Sunday April 1st made up for all that
whilst known No.1 was run "split" into two halves and the
unknown was completed as intended.
With just eight eager
pilots ready to roll, an unlikely overcast eventually gave us just under
3,000ft and enough to tackle the 2001 Sports Known-1 in the
aforementioned two bites. The (some say) irrepressible Guy Westgate headed
Chris Cain, whilst true sportsman Alex Yeates just kept Paul Conran at
bay. In the unknown however John Gilbert's second placing and Alex's close
third settled the final order, the Dan Smith Memorial Trophy now gracing
young Yeate's sideboard for 2001. With almost all complete the return of
the cloud unfortunately prevented Malcolm Hodgeson from starting the final
flight, and that was that.
Thanks to Ray Stoward
for driving the show and Jen B for tinkling the keys, various stalwart
judges, and the London Gliding Club for the best full breakfast north of
Watford!
