The Inter-Club League is intended to encourage competitive cross-country flying on a less formal basis than National and Regional competitions, involving pilots at all levels of cross-country competence. Special emphasis is placed on the performance of Novice pilots in an effort to encourage Cross County Competition.
The competition is split into Novice, Intermediate and Pundit classes with one pilot from each class flying for each competing club.
Below are the dates for the Inter Club League in 2010.
