*correction* The day listed in this notice was incorrect, the correct day is: Saturday the 21st August, 4pm. Not Sunday. Apologies for that mistake.
Sadly our good friend Christian Derold passed away in a gliding accident a few days ago, while competing in a contest from Reiti, Italy. Christian has been a frequent visitor to Piako for many gliding contests over the years. A celebration of his life will be held at Auckland Gliding Club Saturday 21st August, 4pm.
