Dear pilots,
First of all, and as we are only getting bad news regarding competitions, let me confirm that Yes! The competition will happen this year.
But I want to stay rational and transparent with what is happening regarding the venue in Tende.
The roads are still not confirmed as available (some work to make a dirt road access from tende to Casterino up to the Bunker are still going next week). As of now, I can not validate the quality of the access, and still not for at least another week or two minimum.
We are now only one month from the competition and I can’t wait longer and take the risk of a too dangerous access road, of having to ask everyone to change their reservations at the last minute.
This is why I have decided to move this year’s Lemoncello Cup “back” to Caussols. The competition will be held at the far west slope (or west slope if wind requires), as we did once before. The slope has better wind and is steeper. Landing area is not bad at all (with respect to location….).I really hope next year we will be able to fly back in Tende.
Regarding restaurant \/ banquet, I need to quickly find a restaurant to host us all. I will keep you posted when sorted.
So in short: FAI Lemoncello Cup is confirmed but moved to Caussols slope.
Many thanks for your understanding,
Allan.

Chers pilotes,
D\u00e9j\u00e0 comme on en a trop l’habitude des mauvaises nouvelles: le FAI Lemoncello Cup aura bien lieu!
Mais je tiens \u00e0 rester honn\u00eate et raisonnable dans les prises de risques et d\u00e9cisions. A ce jour, aucune route d’acc\u00e8s valide n’est encore disponible jusqu’\u00e0 la pente. Les travaux tournent encore au moins toute la semaine prochaine pour donner une premi\u00e8re route d’acc\u00e8s en terre a Casterino, nous permettant ensuite d’essayer de monter au Bunker.
Je n’ai donc pu a ce jour valider la qualit\u00e9 de cette route, et cela ne pourra se faire sur les 2 prochaines semaines au minimum.
\u00c9tant seulement a un mois de l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement, je me dois de prendre une d\u00e9cision pour \u00e9viter des changements de r\u00e9servation de derni\u00e8re minute pour tous en cas de route indisponible ou trop dangereuse.
C’est pourquoi j’ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de replier comme annonc\u00e9 en \u00e9ventualit\u00e9 le concours FAI Lemoncello Cup a Caussols. Le concours aura lieu sur l’extr\u00eame ouest du site (ou ouest si le vent le demande). Il s’agit du site que nous utiliserons dans 15j pour le concours de coupe. Venez donc nombreux pour vous y entrainer…..
J’esp\u00e8re que l’ann\u00e9e prochaine nous pourrons remonter a Tende.
Concernant le restaurant\/banquet, je vais rapidement chercher une solution dans les environs pour nous accueillir tous et reviendrais vers vous.
Donc en r\u00e9sum\u00e9 : le FAI Lemoncello Cup se d\u00e9roulera cette ann\u00e9e a Caussols.
Merci de votre compr\u00e9hension et \u00e0 bient\u00f4t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
