Confirmation

• All F3K events are subject to potential cancellation due to weather conditions or lack of entries (min 8).
• Please check this thread for up to date information before travelling.

Directions

• The satellite image view shows it very clearly.
• Exit the A4104 onto E(ast) Waterside.
• Drive to the end and turn right, heading through the tunnel, back under the A4104 into the field.
• Please stick to driving along the track on the edge of the field.
• We'll probably park up over on the side of the field where the "Sunshine Festival" is indicated on Google Maps. 
• Expect access to the field to be available from 09:00 am for a 09:45 briefing and prompt 10:00 start.

The gate will be open at the start of the day for competitors to drive onto the field.  Then it will be locked again.  It can be opened again during the day if competitors need to drive in and out, time permitting. Spectators are welcome, but unless they want to stay all day like competitors, will need to park on the right along the slip road just off the main road.  The parking here is obvious and used by locals who come to walk the footpath around the field.

Bump

[PaulR]

5 days to go, 4 entries so far.

Is anyone else planning to join us? Since Neil can't make it, I hope/assume at least one pilot is coming down from the north to bring the sound system!

[Mark Frain]

Sorry guys, i’am working this weekend, hope the numbers increase.

 

[thechalster]

I have just entered, and sorting out with NH to bring down the sound system.

[PaulR]

So Carlos has just brought us up to the magic number of 8 entrants in to order to make it a valid league event.

I'm keeping a close eye on the forecast which is showing nice conditions apart from the wind speed which seems to be a little on the high side. As usual, some forecasts are predicting there will be stronger wind than others.

I'll be making the final call tomorrow by 6pm so please do check back here before travelling.

Just upset the numbers, registered making 9.

Hope the weather is kind!

[PaulR]

In light of no improvement in forecast and getting worse in some, I’ve decided to cancel.

I’d just about psyched myself up for it but good call. Probably I would have come home with model damage!

Think it's a good call Paul. Model damage is terrible. Looking forward to seeing you all at the next one.
