Thank you Peter! 

Is there any P&F pilots that would help with judging the P class. If we can get enough who are willing to help with judging we can spread them out enough 🙏 

Once I have a enough judges I can get out a judging rotor ☺️

Hello All, 

Thank you to everyone that has entered! 

Not long to go! 

I have been in contact with the berkeley arms who said we can have a meal there on the Saturday night. It's around 3 miles/10 minutes from BMFA buckminster.

Once we get closer and we know numbers there will be a menu to chose from and tabs set up on the day with the restaurant to pay.

Please can anyone who would like to attend let me know.

Thank you
Yazz ✈️
