[https://web.archive.org/web/20140209090103/http://www.interunis.com/site/ ThisThe Inter-University Gliding Competition] is hosted at different airfield each year, and brings together many of the major universities for a week-long competition of gliding and fun. It is held every year in Augustfor a week.
There are three different competitions at the Inter-Unis.
In August 1999 the IUTW took place at our club (Gransden Lodge). The 1998 comp was held at Sutton Bank - home of Durham University (and the Yorkshire Gliding Club). Bristol, Durham, University College London, Nottingham Trent, Cambridge, Edinburgh and St. Andrews all took part. The weather wasn't brilliant but we still managed to do 20 hours of flying in a little over a week. Our K8 completed one 100k triangle, 70k of another and did a 5 hour+ ridge-bashing silver duration to win the wood class with Edinburgh's K13 coming a close second. UCL came joint first with Durham in the glass class.
