This is an excellent site made available to us at the peak time of the season, so let's have a good number of entries and showcase F3A flying in this part of the country.

Kevin thank you for the endorsement in my flying ability but sadly its not that good 😂😂 so I will only be flying P only or should I say trying to fly the P schedule 

There is still plenty of room for more entries. The club has already purchased a set of poles for marking the box, so this will be a great competition venue and one to become part of the circuit in future.

Thanks for the great response to this competition - the host Club Tyldesley MFC will be delighted to see a full entry.

I'll start a waiting list now if anyone else would like to attend, in case of any withdrawals. 

Apologies, due to unforeseen circumstances I'm going to have to withdraw from the competition.
Thanks 
Pete & Yazz 

Sorry to hear that Pete. I've updated the entry list so there is one space available if anyone wants to take it. 

For anyone who wishes to fly at the Tyldesley site on Saturday, the field will be open for practice in the afternoon. This is also a club flying session so any of our pilots who want to fly should coordinate their flights with the members - no "back to back" flights please.
Brian Hoare is a club member and will be on site finishing the set up of the poles and box lines.

Although we have had a small number of withdrawals, the entry is still almost full and we will need to start flying promptly at 09:00, so please arrive in time for a briefing at 08:30.

We will follow the established practice of contestant judging and I will contact some of you directly later today to ask you to judge.

If anyone has any questions please get in touch. 

We have no Notaumatic gurus attending this competition so we will revert to scoresheets and scribes. Please be prepared to help the judges during periods when your group isn't flying.

The flight order will be determined by random draw, with the usual 1/3 rotation between the rounds for the P and the P&F groups. The order of the flying groups will be P only, Intermediate, P&F in each round.

I plan to have three full rounds over the day.

I look forward to seeing you all at this excellent new venue.

For those proposing to attend today, please PM me before you arrive as I am not there all day but 25min from site. 

Here are the results from yesterday.

Thanks to all the competitors for helping to keep things running smoothly despite the weather and having to use scribes and manual scoring - it was a great team effort.

Edit 4th August 2024 - updated results table added with very minor corrections to score errors for two P25 pilots (0.1 points each, which does not alter the placings) and the P25 results table is now sorted by final placing.
