I'm rather late writing this, but we've been having trouble
sending the results files by email.
Phil has included a photo of the results sheet in his usual
excellent set of photos at http://www.glos-mfc.co.uk/phil/ph13/1.htm
, picture 24. Andy's Maxa looks superb, too.
A good time was had by all, I think.
The weather was excellent, as forecast - 50% cloud, modest wind in a
good direction and strong lift (and sink).
A relief after the pre-comp discussions, and a pleasant change for
this year - there were a number of reddened individuals seeking sun
block they'd ceased to pack.
My first comp as CD was made easy by all, and especially Cliff,
Marlene, Bob, Pete and Bruce.
We kept to time so well that we finished 7 rounds with time to
spare, and had an "all up, last down" comp after the
prizegiving. Everyone stayed to take part, and it went well - less
lift than for most of the day so we didn't have to wait all night
for a result, but enough to separate the field. A good win by Bruce
Baker.
It was good to see Neil Stainton again, and he was persuaded to stay
to present prizes. Mick Barnett visited earlier - he is recovering
well from a back operation, and becoming a force to be reckoned with
in model yacht racing.
The farmer, John Lewthwaite, is a long-time modeller with an
enviable workshop and his own permanent model flying strip.
He has offered the field again in October, and Cliff will be running
an event as I'll probably be in France.
I went to Woodspring Wings today. Excellent
flying display, superb weather, and a surprising number of trade
stands given the recent decline. Downside was the inescapable
over-amplified inane yabber on the tannoy.
There''s an electric fly-in on the 25th August (not 18th as printed on
today's programme) - 'free' entry but £5 parking fee (i.e. £5
entry unless you go on yer bike).
