Narrative

General Info

Anyone flying should also be aware of the General site rules

http://www.malvern-hang.org.uk/sites_guide/general-site-rules.html

If you don't already have an MHGC helmet sticker, there is no need to acquire one just to fly in the BCC round.  Signing to fly will show your understanding and acceptance of the site rules instead.

Let's hope for a good day on Saturday.  Simon MHGC Chief Coach
