For ten years Phil and his wife Ross have been a constant feature of British hang gliding comps here and abroad. Phil has been the focal point of the scoring system – an onerous task involving long hours, technical headaches and grumpy pilots – while Ross patiently ran registrations, collected money, issued T shirts, etc. Phil also maintained the UKNXCL website, dealing with disputes and discrepancies; set up and maintained the hang gliding comps website, and maintained the Panel website. And for several years was the UK CIVL hang gliding rep, putting our case on the international stage. All achieved with patience and great good humour
