State Championships 2025, Corowa

29 November – 6 December 2025

The competition is now ready and open for entries – https://glidingcomp.au/vsa2025.

Entries are now open for the Victorian State Championships to be held this year at Corowa from 29 November to 6 December, 2025. Registration is at: https://glidingcomp.au/vsa2025

The competition will be running a separate class for those in their first or second competition to encourage newcomers to join in. We are also using DHTasking, to enable all glider types to enter.

The 27th and 28th November will be available for practice, familiarisation and coaching. If this is your first competition then it would be great if you could attend these days to familiarise yourself with how it all works. Entry fee and towing costs will be kept to a minimum and will be confirmed as soon as possible. We note that the 6 December overlaps with the NSW Competitions at Temora. Provision will be made in the rules to allow competitors to leave a day early to get to Temora in time.

There is special emphasis on first time competitors and “rookies”, so come along and get your “cross country groove” on, have a go and pick the brains of the more experienced pilots! 

The Corowa site has excellent camping right on the airfield with good bathroom facilities and 20 powered sites. There are also several motels, hotels and caravan parks 5 minutes away in town. On the airside, there are powered and watered tie down areas for those that need it along with non watered sites for the clubbies. Everything is close by and easy to access.

Information for the VSA State Championships 2025 is also on the Victorian Soaring Association website. Contact David Meredith – jantardave@gmail.com for further information.

VSA Come & Get it Trophy (CAGIT)

It’s at Mildura, so Go and Get It!! Read More…

For many years now, New South Wales gliding have had a ‘Come & Get It’ Trophy which their clubs compete to collect after a cross country flight to another club site where the trophy currently resides.   Occasionally a number of Victorian pilots have crossed the Murray river to NSW sites and ‘stolen’ it.   However it is a very big task for pilots in Central and Western districts of Victoria to attempt to collect it from NSW.
 
Accordingly we thought it was about time that Victoria had their own trophy to encourage cross country activity and friendly rivalry between our clubs.
The basic rules are:
1. You must launch from your home club and make a successful goal flight to the club holding the trophy to claim it.
2. If the glider is fitted with an engine, engine only to be used for the initial launch and not to extend the flight.  Gliders with engine to provide log of flight.
4. Clubs and their pilots claiming the CAGIT are encouraged to write a short story about their flight for the GFA magazine.
5. The claimant of the CAGIT is to notify the VSA secretary of its new location.
6. VSA CAGIT can only be claimed and held by VSA clubs.  That said we will certainly recognise the efforts of pilots from neighbouring States who succeed in ‘raiding’ us for it.
7. CAGIT to be engraved by the claiming club at their own expense.
