Shortfall

Do we have anymore interested pilots?

Venues such as Ashbourne are rare and won't be available in the long term, without ongoing support, we risk losing these sites in the future.
 
I've secured judges for the day but would like to see a few more entries please.

Brico

As we stand we now have 9 P only pilots and 3 P&F pilots but no confirmed judges.

Many thanks Brico for running the competition perfect morning sky interesting wind patterns as the day progressed the only downside was you gave up flying in the last round of the "p" s because no one would or could not sit in the chair for the final round for the pilots who did do judging thank you

Thanks Brico for stepping up to run an extra competition for the year.  Thanks also to the Notaumatic team (Phil and Graham), the judges, my two callers (Graham and Brico) and gate guardian Ken.  A most enjoyable event.
