49^th VGC International Rally at AeroKlub Celje

Some members will have just returned from the 49^th International Rally at Celje, where the weather and surroundings were amazing.  The organisation of the rally by the AeroKlub Celje was really good from helping to rig gliders on their arrival to getting them to the launch point each morning.  A lot of flying was done by all, with really good thermals.  Organised trips to Celje Museum and castle, Ljubljana and Lake Bled were a great success.  Although small, the International Evening was its usual high spirits and everyone sampling other countries dishes and drinks.   This was followed later in the rally by the National Evening with lots of dancing to an ABBA tribute band.  A big thank you to all involved in the 49th International Rally at AeroKlub Celje.

AeroKlub Celje appointed Peter Karner as official photographer and you can find his videos of the International Rally on YouTube.  There will be a full article in the next VGC News.  Click on the link below or paste into your browser to see an International Rally flight day at AeroKlub Celje.
