The parade of nations started at the bowling club and went along the river finishing up at the Rugby club. It was a short walk but was still near 40c when the parade began.
I think 23 nations are represented here and just about all the best pilots are here. Should be a very competitive meet.
After all the nations were introduce we had some orderves before the speeches started. The FAI president, Vicki Cain, the mayor and a few others gave speeches. Following that was a welcome BBQ put on by the town. The food was awesome. After that they had some live music and we danced into the night. It was a very nice warm summer evening. Meet some new people and had a great visit with lots of people.
I think it was a Colombian was the first to grab his flag and start dancing with it. This inspired a bunch of to grab our flags and join in. I must have had a few too many rums as I some how managed to grab the Austrian flag by mistake. I'll have to look at my glider to remind me of what our flag looks like.
