Ken Bartlett Trophy - Tim Bromhead - Most outstanding Personal Best for winning Sports Class Nationals
President’s Pot - Robin Britton - For an outstanding flight during Sports Class Nationals
Tom Martin Trophy - Joan Wine - for providing outstanding friendship and service to the club in the past year. Joan doesn't fly, but puts a huge amount of work and effort into the club as committee member and secretary of the club.
Wooden C - Not awarded this year. Almost awarded to Jamie for setting his altimeter to 1182 feet instead of 182 feet, and wondering why releasing at 2000' AGL felt 'a little low'. Well done for dealing with the situation properly.
Club Task Trophies
Care 200 Trophy - Bill Mace - fastest time around the Care 200 course
Catlin Trophy - Unawarded!

Well done Bill for being the only person to complete a club trophy task this year!
This is an open challenge to all Piako pilots to compete for these trophies this year.
The Les Riestererer short course in particular is great for newer pilots, and is great practice for using GPS's and preparing for a task.
The task details are available on the website here.
