As Andrew says Congrats to JP. He was actually only beaten by 19 seconds in awful conditions with a light drizzle falling. That equates to 92 points out of 1000.
A good days flying in crappy conditions and very little thermal activity.
That's it until next year, 2010 thermal season with NIMSA is done. :cry:

Another great days flying with Nimsa members, and did Mr. John fly well !
Congratulation to you and Frank for beating the difficult conditions.
Hope the wine went down well and you got the massage from Mrs P to relieve the back pain.
Richard
roll on next years

Cheers guys
Great days flying, thanks to Bill and all the NIMSA lads for a brill! competition, and yes! it was nice to get the runner up spot. It was testing to get the lift, I was just lucky in the first round, however I did have my side kick sam to guide me.
Looking forward to the next event.
