Nigel_W Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hello Everyone The Southern Winter F3F League will run this year on the first Sunday of each month from October to March, with no reserve dates. The winter events are very relaxed, and a good way of trying out F3F, but also fun for those who have been away from it for a while! Sun 4 October Sun 1 November Sun 6 December Sun 3 January Sun 7 February Sun 7 March The venue will be White Sheet for wind direction NNW-SSW. For certain other directions an event may run in the Eastbourne area. The weather call will normally be made on the Friday evening. Entries will open by the Monday 1 week beforehand (entries on the day will also be accepted). Your FIRST event entry MUST include your BMFA number and confirmation that you are CAA Operator registered, to be sent by email to nwitchalls AT blueyonder.co.uk . Once provided these will be kept on record for further winter league events. Subsequent entries can be by RSVP to the BARCS Calendar event (see links on dates above). Entries will be limited to 30 unless otherwise stated when opening the entry list. During these events social distancing is to be observed at all times. Hand sanitiser will be provided at buzzer points. If you have any queries please contact me or ask the CD on the day. Nigel 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookman Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 With the latest rule of six, where does that leave us? Can we claim exemption as an organised sporting event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel_W Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 We are keeping an eye on the published guidance as it is updated. In England, the recent changes relate to social gatherings, not business activity or organised sporting events. The guidance under which we organised the English Open has not changed. But who knows. I will post a status update 2 weeks before the first event (and take entries from 1 week later). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oipigface Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I’m planning to be in Limoux for the Pyrenees Cup on the first of these dates, Nigel, so don’t expect to see me unless France is locked down soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel_W Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Status update as promised above, the southern winter league first event will run, weather permitting, on 4th October (managed under Covid-Secure guidelines and BMFA guidelines). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrénées Cup has been cancelled, so assuming the October event isn’t also cancelled I can be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel_W Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Sunday evening was the plan, but I don't mind opening it now as it's not exactly a Eurotour. Entries to be made as per original post please. Numbers will be limited to 30, so shouldn't be a problem. I will add the entry list to this post in a few days.

Nigel_W Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi all, despite a good entry list the weather forecast has not been good all week and now shows rain all day Sunday on various weather sites. It is probably no surprise but unfortunately we have to call this one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Let's hope the rain dose one for the rest of the Winter League for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel_W Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hi all, the next F3F Southern winter league is planned for next Sunday. The forecasts currently suggest it will be suitable only for John Treble's float-equipped gliders, but fingers crossed. Those who entered last month can enter by RSVP to the calendar entry Here. Any first-time entrants please provide details as per first post in this thread. Nigel, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
