Recently political tension between North and South Korea had for consequences the shut down of Gin Glider factory without any possibility to retrieve any equipment. It is making impossible for this manufacturer the completion of a CCC glider in all size in time for the Krushevo European PG championship.

Gin Gliders requested an exemption to the mandatory weight range for CCC gliders to be accepted in First Category events (point 6 of CCC requirement document). After consulting other CCC manufacturers, CIVL Bureau has decided that the weight range requirement is suspended from now until October 1st for all gliders, Gin or otherwise.
