History of OLC??

I am creating a presentation on OLC for our club's annual banquet. I
would like to present some material on OLC's history, but I can't seem
to find very much. I have the wikipedia entry, but it is quite
brief. I also looked around on the OLC site, but couldn't find
anything there either. Anyone out there can tell me how the OLC got
started - where the original idea came from, things like that?

TIA,

Frank( TA)

Frank ,

There was an article in S&G (Dec/Jan edition ) re the OLC Symposium in
England in October and which made mention of Reiner Rose as the
originator. This might help you perhaps if you could make contact with
him or the author of the article ( Wendy MacPhedran ). Good luck,

ZA.

The rule change in 2003 was discussed at length at a meeting with
external advisors: I hope I remember all of them:

Hans Werner Grosse
Kai Lindenberg
Markus Scherdl
G. Marzinzig
I think someone from the Swiss Soaring Federation
I think someone from the Austrian Soaring Federation

There was a paper on this meeting in aerokurier .

Hans,

Thank you so much for providing such a detailed history. This will
really help liven up my presentation!
