Does any country run competitions in the IGC Club Class?


Yup...


In another thread, in response to a question about inclusion of the
PW-5, Andreas said:

"Sure - the only limit to CLub Class in Germany at the moment is the
upper limit of 106 for the index."

which makes me think that Germany doesn't run any IGC Club Class
competitions.


Well... actually Germany does.
In fact, Club Class is by far the most popular class in Germany.

Here's the list of qualification competitions for the German
nationals:

Please compare the sheer number of Club Class competitions to other
classes.


Three major gliding countries that don't use the IGC Club Class. It
makes me wonder if anybody does.


I think you got it wrong...

Here's the link to the Club Class World gliding championchips 2009:
