The first day of the Forbes Flatlands 2020 has been cancelled due to extreme weather conditions with strong winds and temperatures in the mid 40's. We were able to get some late practice day flights in yesterday when the winds eased late afternoon about 30 pilots braved the heat and flew.

We finalized registration last night before our welcome party at the Vandenberg Hotel. We have 52 pilots from 16 countries, 7 Sport Class pilots and 45 Open Class pilots. A big welcome to the 20 new pilots to Forbes this year.

Rohan Taylor kindly got us started on the local farmers help appeal where we can donate food/clothes/money via Nel's Pantry. Our very generous pilots raised over $800 in a matter of minutes after the briefing. Thank you all so much. We have set up a shopping trolley in head quarters for further donations during the week.
