Having said that, difficulties or queries around scoring etc should not discourage you from entering as we can work around most issues and assist on the day.

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.

As I mentioned to those of you there yesterday, I will need to get away as soon as possible at the end of the event.

For this reason it would be ideal if:

1. Someone else would volunteer to be CD.
2. Someone who can confirm their availability for the following event at Twywell (30th Sept) could take away the box marking stuff and sound system.

If someone else can take on the CD role for the day then I would still be happy to be responsible for the scoring side of things as I am when Neil is CDing.

*CANCELLED*
Sorry everyone, it seems that there has been a double booking at the field and we will not be able to fly this coming weekend. 
Apologies have been received from the farmer and MSA for the oversight. The weather may have been against us anyway…

If you fancy watching a Roman battle reenactment though you can still go to the field
