From the BGA Newsletter: Silver for Ayala. Ayala Truelove has won her second successive silver medal in the Club Class at the Womens World Gliding Championships, held last month at Issoudun in central France. Going into the final race with a slim lead, Ayala finished the fortnight-long competition in equal second place along with German pilot Doerte Starsinski and just 14 points behind gold medallist Christine Grote (GER). The Club Class was one of the most closely fought championship classes ever, with the lead changing on an almost daily basis. Team mates Claudia Hill and Helen Hingley finished 7th and 10th respectively. In the Standard Class, Kay Draper and Gill Spreckley were 7th and 8th overall which meant that TeamGB was able to see off the competition from Poland to take second place in the overall team placings, behind Germany. Full results are on the championship web site at wwgc2013.aeroclub-issoudun.fr. Well done to the whole team.
