Matt,
My sister teaches online courses in English as
Second Language. Maybe you should take one?
Seriously, the morning briefing disrupts the
preparation of the glider for the day and turns
what is usually a long day into a longer one.
The organisers must prepare the material anyway
which largely, as far as weather is concerned, is
simply a bunch of links to various websites.
A simple summary of why the particular task has
been set and the actual task description plus any
safety considerations/social notices can be
simply put on a website and the time this will
happen be notified. An email list could even be
created so people are notified (or a text message sent).
This then serves the double purpose of notifying
the contestants and anyone else interested and
saves everyone's time. All forms of aviation
including gliding are now heavily internet based
so I'm not sure what he physical presence of
everyone in one place every day (probably still
want an initial brief on the practice day), before flying, achieves.
Social activities can still be around the bar
after flying, including awards for daily wins.

No idea if they are actually flying though.

Dunno, but maybe they ought to give up on
physically getting together for briefing and
simply post the required information on a
webpage. That way everyone can know what is happening.

Anthony,
The storms weren't just through Adelaide.
Quite extensive areas through the Riverland.

As far as I know gliders were derigged and in
trailers or hangars. The storm came from
the NW and continued to the SE, so Waikerie
did not see the same storm as Adelaide.
Â
I was at Elizabeth and we only had relatively
small hail except at the end of the storm
where I heard a couple of big hail stones
shattering on the roof. Enough for me to put
some neoprene sheet over the car in the hope that it would soften the impacts.
Â
Justine was at home and collected a sample of
the hailstones that hit Adelaide much larger. See attached.
