- Worlds 2026- In order to make everything faster, there are a few things I'd like to bring forward for today's meeting.
Please let everyone to know the new date for the Worlds is April 2026.
About rental airplanes.
Getting planes all the way south of the world with few shipping (and expensive) options.
Please understand getting a list together has been somewhat problematic, but we're definitely getting there.
By the end of this very week, we will have a list of options that will likely grow within a few weeks.
About international judges:
A big effort is being pulled to have all the national Directors ready to judge besides the best of our competitors. So far, this is proving to be a successful effort.
Invitations will be issued for international judges really soon.
We'd like to invite all of you guys, but we will be a bit limited since most of the funds come from clubs and member's personal pockets.
If we can get more sponsorship to fund more judges, we will gladly do it.
