Class Winners – VIC State Competitions

The VSA currently has competitions in three classes. Standard / 15 Metre Class, 18 Metre / Open Class and Club Class. Classes have been combined to reflect current participation.

Commemorative trophies are provided to the class winners each year. The Perpetual Trophies are available for each competition to be awarded to the champions but returned to the State Gliding Centre for engraving and security.
