@FlyingFinn14- will we see you on Saturday?

[Neil Harrison]

Weather forecast looking promising for Saturday, as usual entries close Thursday and the call for comp will be Friday before 6pm.

Remember, this is our National Championships, so there is a lot to play for.

Hi @PaulR, I'm afraid not. Just got too much on. I will however aim to make Malvern and am aware that leaves me with only 4 scores should the last round go ahead .

[Neil Harrison]

I can confirm we are a GO for tomorrow.

There is a chance of showers but this seems to be improving all the time, so be prepared.

See you all in the morning.

Once again a clash with our grandson’s sailing event so can’t make it again. It’s been like that all year!
Hope you all have a great day.

Our 2024 F3K National Champion is Mr Mike Stern.

What a truly amazing day out, no rain and we watched the thunderstorms on both sides of us, I would like to thank again everyone for coming and supporting our Nationals.

League results updated!

Going into the last competition of the year in two weeks from now, and it is all to play for the top 3 places.

Fingers crossed for some good weather and a tense finale to the season.

Congratulations Mike.  I'll send you some Silvo cleaner

Certainly was a fantastic thermal flying day.  Challenging but rewarding conditions. 
Thanks again to @Neil Harrison and @PaulR for organising and scoring. 
 

I’ll get the polish out!

Likewise, I'd like to say a big thanks to Neil & Paul for their flawless organisation as always. 

We were super lucky to get such great conditions, given the weather on either side of us and also the filthy weather we've had since.

A really enjoyable day of flying.

Looking forward to 5 Oct
