...check out our pond.

It's a damn big pond, laser-levelled, and with a nice sandy run-out area. Should be a lot of fun Smile.

Yup everybody is welcome. Henny from the Netherlands and Attila from New Zealand came to our nationals earlier this year.

We do still have qualification here though, 6 runs of a speed course. Qualification is 21/22 Feb. If you have competed in a World Cup or World Meet you should automatically be qualified.

Other than qualification we pretty much use the IPC rules. Full rules can be found at http://www.apf.asn.au/publications.aspx

There is no purse, this is our nationals.
It will not be cold, February is still summer time here.

February is toasty - it's still summer here. And there's plenty of free camping at the DZ.

If you want to go somewhere warm during winter and want to check out our pond you could come to the Christmas boogie instead.
