+Thanks go to Sant for the excellent name (Just Eff**ing Do It!). A JEDI is a qualified cross country pilot who hasn't yet done their Silver Distance (50k) or someone who hasn't flown a glider more than 50k away from Portmoak in the past three years but maybe wants to get back into XC. There is a JEDI ladder for Portmoak pilots on the [[https://bgaladder.net/|BGA National Ladder page]] and a trophy for the winner at the SGC annual awards dinner.
+Thanks to David Dodds, there is a list of {{:xc:jedi_tps.cup|JEDI turning points}}, which are recognisable land marks fairly close to Portmoak, so new JEDIs can practice their skills with mini-tasks before venturing further afield. Just add these to your existing turning points list. If you fly a JEDI task, don't forget to put it on the Ladder!
