BHPA Classic Accuracy Championships & Grand Prix
24th August 2019 - 26th August 2019
The Annual British Classic Paragliding Accuracy Championships – 24, 25,26 Aug 2019. This event is scheduled to take place at South Cerney during this 3 x day holiday period. In addition to the trophies for the British Individual Champion and Best British team there will be a vast array of awards which will include: Best International Champion(s) Individual and team, best veteran, best under 25 and best paraglider. Incorporated in this competition will be the UK leg of the European Accuracy Grand Prix, where competitors from France UK and NL will be adding points towards this 3 x stage competition. Accommodation for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights will be in the barrack block where a bed c/w mattress will be provided for everyone, so, all that will be required by each individual will be a sleeping bag or some other form of preferred bedding. There will be a BBQ on the Saturday evening by courtesy of GLSW&S Scouts. There will also be live music provided by someone who most of you will have met many times previously. On Sunday evening we have a reservation in the local pub for a traditional English Sunday roast. In addition to the Championship competitions we will be holding a Novice Competition so those new to the sport can get the feel of a competition weekend, and have the chance to win an award. TRAINING and PRACTICE. We intend to provide practice days from Monday 19 August through to Friday 23 August. In addition to providing the opportunity for practice we are also intending to provide coaching from some of the top accuracy pilots from UK and overseas. THIS IS WHERE WE NEED SOME FEEDBACK. We would like to know how many people you;d like to attend these training days. Please reply to the post on the Accuracy Facebook page if you think you will be participating AND for how many days. If there are any questions about any of this, please contact me and I will do my best to provide an answer. Arthur
