Baldyslapnut Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 After due consideration from the BARCS Committee we have decided to cancel the 2020 Radioglide Weekend at Buckminster due to be held in May. It is unlikely we will be able to reschedule. However, we will liaise with the BMFA when more is known about the ability to hold larger gatherings at flying fields. We will keep you posted as and when we have more information to act on. Sorry to have to write this post. I wish you all good health in the coming months.

Baldyslapnut Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi Steve, If we can then of course. It has been discussed and not behind closed doors. In AOB in the digital AGM there was a 20 minute discussion on running comps. Using technology to make it viable. Currently we would struggle with the guidelines to make it work. As 6 or more people are considered a gathering. If you are over 50 years old and male then you are considered in a higher risk group. I know a number of fliers who are taking the social distancing issue very seriously. People are worried about the score cards, timing, landing tape, launching etc. If new rules are brought into practice and there is an appetite to run the event then our first port of call would be to speak to Manny and see if Buckminster is available. If it is possible we will try our hardest to make it work. Any suggestions on how it could work will be gratefully received. Happy Landings and be safe Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
