At least 30 days notice to the IGC that records will be attempted.

Either you are joking, either you have a very good weather forecaster...


Not at all. Are you seriously suggesting that you can break a World
Record at essentially no notice on Sunday afternoon at your local
gliding club? Lots of luck.

Take a look at the effort that Steve Fossett and others are going to.

Nowadays it takes much preparation and planning which will take you
much longer than 30 days. It isn't at all unreasonable to require
prior notice of intention.

It has nothing whatever to do with weather forecasters (and I am one
-or used to be).
