Gents 
Peter Scholes has agreed to come along and judge. 

Do we have any volunteers to sit in the second chair  please?

We also have an entry on Masters - i take nothing for granted, so could I please have volunteers to judge other classes?

Gents I know we are a few days away from Sunday.......
Weather is not looking fantastic at the moment.
20mph winds with 30mph gusts.

I am going to check the forecast Friday night and decide whether we proceed or not.

Please check here 7pm Friday evening.

It has time to change - 🤞

Gents 
I have looked at all the forecasts and the summary is "really windy"
As such I have decided to call off Sunday.
I will try and arrange a date later in the year 

Kind Regards 

Bob

Thanks Bob for letting us know. Keith and myself have been practising today in very strong winds. Not fun  >:(

Thanks Bob a good call I think but not an easy one.  I hope you can run it at another time.

All the best

See you soon.

The law of Sod comes into play - probably for the best even though we three Bedford musketeers have been out practicing in some challenging winds recently !!

Its a long way for many of us to travel to not fly - inevitably now it will be perfect day but always chance later in the year I hope...

Thanks for letting us know Bob. Given the forecast I'm sure you made the right call. Flying the schedule is one thing but landing becomes a real lottery. Can hopefully be rearranged 🤞
