Bordeaux, 12 August 2022 , The following mail has benn sent to ALL LD throwers :
Dear LD enthusiasts,
You will find some informations about the LD event in this lines :
1) What is the situation in Cabanac airfield, where the LD event is scheduled ? The situation is critical with the forest fires starting again. But there aresome serious rain falls forecasted several times during the week, which give us some good hope. We are still working on a "B plan", just in case...
2) Groups : The throwing groups will be announced on Saturday during the briefing. We plan to have 2 rounds of 8 throws, which is really good. (Unless weather conditions are catastrophic)
There will be a simple turning group organisation, like in Kiel 2016. Exemple : when group 3 is throwing, group 2 is spotting and group 4 is in the warmup zone, etc... We will make it clear during the briefing but it is very simple and efficient.
3) Warm-up : Please note that NO LD boomerangs are allowed in the warmup zone. 50-60m booms like Aussie-rounds are allowed but please NO pure LD with sharp airfoils and low "S" returning flighpath.
The warmup zone will be placed far from the LD field : each group will have a very good warmup time.
4) Spotters : please read the attached notice. It is important that everybody repects this advices in order to gain some precious time and have accurate distance measurements.
MHLDH, see you soon in Cabanac
Laurent, for the CNB
