PaulR Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Didn't think I was going to be able to make this one, but looks like it might be possible now. I'll have to wait a little longer to confirm, but hopeful... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Harrison Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Date corrected in F3X Vault for the competition Sunday 25th July, as before we will close entries at 6pm latest on the Saturday to see if any pilots from the 'Come Try DLG' event would like to enter. We are planning on having a BBQ and fun social evening on the Saturday, the guys from F3/5RES will be joining us also, as before please bring your own food and drink. The Stern Brothers will hopefully bring table tennis again so if anyone has anything else game wise they could bring that would be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccardo Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I shall be there on the Saturday. Attended the one held about a month ago and can strongly recommend it to any novice flyers or people thinking of trying DLG's. A lot of the mysteries were explained, and the experienced flyers were very approachable and patient in explaining ways to improve your flight times. .........
