The season is fast approaching it's end, and at one place or another plans are being made for the next season. The date for next years Vest Pokal has been set, it will take place on 04./05.05.2019. Friedmar and Achim have agreed to make it part of the World Cup and the Euro Contest Tour. So make a note in your schedule, everything else at the beginning of the new year. Cheers Ulrich
Looking forward to it Ulrich. P.s. my car is dead, that is, the motor. Pity that the car breakdown came in between a joined flying/training session in Herten. Greetings, Guido
German Open 2019 Next year the international german champion F3K will be awarded for the 20th time. And as last year, for the 3rd time in total, we will do it in Herten during the Vest Pokal. So we will give this event the suitable setting.
With the registration open for one week now, half of the available places are taken. But there are still some nations missing: France? Denmark? Great Britain? Lithuania? Poland? Chech Republic? Austria? Peoples republic of MDFK? So make your travel arrangements and register now. Cheers Ulrich
One option for the nameplates: https://shop.vth.de/modellbauzubeho...hnungsschild-fur-flugmodelle-klein-5-stk.html Also every pilot of the Vest Pokal can order the needed name plate from me. It's made from 0,3mm black painted aluminium, name and adress will be engraved. Cost will be 2,50€/plate, I'll need your order by 21.04.2019. You'll get your plates with your scorecards at the field.
There are now 4 weeks left in the registration period. We currently have 49 registrations. I wonder, who will be the next registration. Who ever it might be, he (or she?) will be my guest for the dinner on saturday evening.
The last week of the registration period has started. So the late deciders better hurry up and get registered. You don't want to miss the 20th edition of the german open F3K, don't you? Preparation is on the final stretch, the buffet has been ordered, the helpers are booked, just the case for the new Gliderscore display has to be finished.
At the end of the registration period we had 61 registrations. The draw will be done with 5 groups of 13, so we will have 4 reserve spots, which will be granted on a first come, first serve basis. If you want to take one of the reserve places, please send an email to vestpokal(at)web.de with your address and your FAI-No.
It is getting closer quickly. Competitors info have been sent today to the emailaddress stated in the registration. If you haven't received an email today, please get in touch. Two of the reserve places are left for the late deciders. Cheers Ulrich
The world kept turning since the last post and due to some cancellations we have 2 places available at the moment .

The competition was very well organized Ulrich. Also the evening diner was great and a lot of fun. Thank you again for all the effort. It was great meeting all international pilots. Only the weather was much better in 2018. Let’s see what you arrange next year. Here some pictures. I also posted video’s on facebook.
