Sport Aerobatic Club Regionals - Vereeniging Jan 2020 By Bennie Henning and Willie Bodenstein Traditionally the Sport Aerobatics Club's Ace of Base is the last aviation event of the year and the Judges Trophy- Regionals the first of the year. In December Baragwanath hosted Ace of Base and it was the best supported competition in a long time. The Judges Trophy- Gauteng regionals that was held at Vereeniging on Saturday 18 January would, if it wasn't for the weather, probably have rivalled or even better the number of competitors that competed at Bara.

Flying started relatively late and with all but three competitors having completed the known sequence, the heavens opened and all further flying stopped. The competition continued on Sunday with Bennie attending. The results were as follows:
