Scottish Paragliding nationals and Events updated

Hello,

Just in case you weren't already aware,

This coming weekend may well be the SMPC and first round this year of The Scottish Nationals Paragliding Series and as such I have updated this page. This will be as usual changed as and whenever I have new information available.

The decision as to whether the weather is good enough for a competition on the 12th / 13th May will be taken tomorrow evening (Wed 9th May) so keep an eye on the above page.

I have also updated the events page - here with as many things as I can find and if you know of any other events please tell me and I shall get them posted asap as well.

Bob V
