Location - Grasmere
Dates - 16, 17 and 18 June 2023
In 2023, the Lakes Charity Classic was held at the Grasmere Sports Showground in the centre of the Lake District. The event was held on Friday 16 June to Sunday 18 June.
The 2023 Lakes Charity Classic
The Cumbria Soaring Club’s Lakes Charity Classic (LCC) competition in June was another triumph with early bird pilots enjoying great conditions in lead up. Podium results :
- A comp - 1st Jacob Aubrey, 2nd Tom Hodgkin, 3rd Ed Cleasby
- B comp - 1st Elliott Brown, 2nd Gareth, Jarvis, 3rd Adam Milward
- X-Lakes H&F Hardcore - 1st John Westall, 2nd Dave Ashcroft, 3rd Greg Chilton
- X-Lakes H&F Academy - 1st Jack Sewell, 2nd Tom Shuttleworth, 3rd Danny Murphy
In addition to stellar organisation and stunning mountain flying, at the heart of the LCC is its fund raising mission for diverse causes. This year £8000 was donated to 18 organisations to support their mountain rescue, environmental or health related work across the county.
Finally, a massive shout out to Pete Askew who has directed the LCC for a decade and has stepped down.
