Jon_E Posted November 2, 2022 Author Posted November 2, 2022 First Northern Winter league is this coming Saturday. Forecast is looking good at the mo. 18-28 mph on our favourite Southerly Slope Final call will be made early this Friday evening Jon 1
Jon_E Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 Well what happened to that great forecast? The clouds are now rolling in with some rain throughout the day Unfortunately it doesn't look like a particularly inviting prospect, So sadly the Comp is OFF Hope you all manage a dry Bonfire Night, and we will see you on the 3rd Dec Jon 2 1
Jon_E Posted November 30, 2022 Author Posted November 30, 2022 Second Northern Winter League this coming Saturday Forecast is for ENE winds 13-21mph, a bit cooler, and dry. final call will be made early this Friday evening Jon
Jon_E Posted December 2, 2022 Author Posted December 2, 2022 What a nightmare of a forecast, winds flipping between one direction and another, and now we have a risk of rain mid afternoon. A quick ring round suggests we are going to be short on numbers anyway, so tomorrows comp is unfortunately OFF Hope to see you all at the GBSRA AGM Regards Jon

Jon_E Posted January 5, 2023 Author Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Happy New Year to you all. Our next WL date is the 7th Jan. A scan of the weather stations for that date are showing varying amounts of early rain If that pesky rain stays away we may be on More tomorrow evening when a call will be made Jon Edited January 5, 2023 by Jon_E updated weather forecast
Jon_E Posted January 6, 2023 Author Posted January 6, 2023 What a hope! That rain has has become even worse! Not clearing until after midday, and given the shorter daylight hours, the predicted showers probably won’t allow sufficient time for a meaningful comp. So yet another cancellation! Sorry Jon
Jon_E Posted February 1, 2023 Author Posted February 1, 2023 Looking good for this weekends Northern Winter League. Met Office showing 15 to 26mph WSW winds at Midday, no rain, and relatively mild for the time of year Lets hope this forecast hold true. Final call this Friday evening as usual. Jon 1
Peter G Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Mike & I are planning to come if its on. Should help with numbers 1
Steve Haley Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I had heart surgery less than two weeks ago, so daren't risk it tomorrow so have a good day guys!
Jon_E Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 Sorry to hear about the heart problems Steve, hope all goes well. Jon
Jon_E Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 Dust off your thumbs guys - I do believe tomorrow is ON. I don't think is going to be ballistic, but with SW winds gradually increasing as the day goes on, we should get some flying in. Wind direction is for Levisham, so see you all there at around 9:30 Jon 2
Bob Dickenson Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Enjoyed myself today, good to meet up again, and great to be able to fly a comp for a change. 1
Jon_E Posted February 4, 2023 Author Posted February 4, 2023 Well that were a reet grand day! Expectations were not high, but Levisham came up trumps and served up some fairly consistent air. The wind took a little while in the morning to build, but stayed more or less consistent at 6-10 m/s for the majority of the time Only at the end of the 12 rounds did conditions start to become a tad variable, and by then all 8 pilots had had enough So after what turned out to be some pretty close racing, Mark Redsell managed first place, Paul Upton in second, and Mike McCracken in third FTD went to Mark R in R5 with a 40.14. Well done guys. Results summary :- 1 Mark Redsell 10269.10 1000 Device 2 Paul Upton 10113.02 985 FS6 / Pitbull 2 3 Mike McCracken 9949.06 969 FS5 4 Rich Bago 9889.76 963 FS5 5 Peter Gunning 9831.62 957 FS6 6 Jon Edison 9617.25 937 FS4 7 Mark Treble 9541.91 929 PitBull 1 8 Bob Dickenson 8078.35 787 Impulse 2 Full results to follow Great to see everyone and for making the effort, in some cases traveling considerable distances, to join in the fun As our reserve dates are now active, the next WL event is the 18th Feb. Don't miss it!! Jon 3

Peter G Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Thanks Jon, really enjoyed the day. Good to see the results, some signs of hope for my 'new style'. It got better as the wind picked up to round 5, hard to know whether the better times were just good air Things got a bit more 'Levisham' in the last 3 or 4 rounds. Magpie fish & chips and a Bothams Bakery 'Jap' are both highly recommended 3
