Martin_N Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 From AJ good to get this up and running in advance. Hi All The Welsh Winter League will soon be upon us and although Martin has posted the dates elsewhere I thought I would just confirm them here. We will stick with the third Sunday of the month for the winter league dates which will be as follows: 16 November 2014 21 December 2014 18 January 2015 15 February 2015 15 March 2015 As always we I will make a weather call on the Friday night before the Competition. I will post near the date and I look forward to seeing you all Andrzej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I know it's a few days too early to look at the forecast for the Bwlch, but you can all thank me now. I am working this weekend and am unable to attend what is looking like being a fantastic day on the Crest. Fairly confident that I haven't put the MOZZ on it ...... as I'm working. It's guaranteed to go ahead and be a great day! GGGRRRRRRR! Is anyone heading up on Saturday afternoon to dodge some possible showers and have a practice? I'm going up after lunch.

Martin_N Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 From AJ, just ping him a mail so he has an idea of numbers. Hi All This Sunday 16 November will be the first round of the SWSA F3F winter league. I will make a call Friday if the competition is on and if so more details of meeting times. If I can have entries by Saturday I would be grateful as it helps with or organising the flying order and get things running on the day. However, if you wake up Sunday morning and decide at the last minute you want to fly you will more than welcome, but you might find yourself early in the flying order! If you are thinking about having a go in F3F the winter league is a great place to start, it's all pretty informal and don't worry if you haven't got the latest state of the art carbon fibre dream machine to have a go. Sure it nice to have but it is more important that you have a go at standing in the ce ntre of a course and trying to fly a kilometre as fast as you can with what ever plane you have got. Better to find out flying a foamie that F3F is for you than spending thousands only to find out you have made an expensive mistake! Looking forward to seeing you all Sunday Andrzej __._,_.___ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwest532 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 We are on Hi All Condition are looking reasonable for Sunday so the competition is ON The wind forecasts have been flipping between Wrecker or the Crest so we will meet at the Wrecker Car Park with a view to heading to the slope at 09:30. The names I have to date are below. If you intend flying and your name is not below can you please let me have your names by Saturday lunch time. That not to say you can't enter on the morning but it will slow things up and as a result you might well find yourself very early in the flying order! So looking forward to seeing you all Sunday and all the best Andrzej 1 John Phillips 2.4 GHz 2 Tony Livingstone 2.4 GHz 3 Simon Thornton 2.4 GHz 4 John Treble 2.4 GHz 5 Gary Harrison 2.4 GHz 6 Andy Burgoyone 2.4 GHz 7 Graeme Mahoney 2.4 GHz 8 Clayton Landells 2.4 GHz 9 Dave Rumble 2.4 GHz 10 Andrzej Tabero 2.4 GHz 11 Martin Drewett 2.4 Ghz 12 Mike Evans 2.4 GHz 13 Joel West 2.4 GHz 14 Stuart Wallace 2.4 GHz 15 Paul Stubley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Dakin Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Great start to the Welsh Winter League - many thanks to AJ, Rumbey and John T for a very smoothly run race, in trying conditions at times. Shame that there was dramatic variance in a couple of the rounds, which may serve to skew the results a little, but on the whole a really fun day out! Congrats to Simon, Joel and I reckon that man Mr Newnham for podium places, and a stunning 33.xx by Joel to show us all that the reversal squad are alive and kicking!!!!! Couple of nice 38.xx's from Marky Abbots and some light hearted Fosa rivalry with my new chum Tony L capped the day - what's not to like.... Cheers, Greg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumbey Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Indeed it was a very good day Greg. You seem to be well intune with that Fosa Lift? Shame I missed Joels 33.xx but I didnt miss his words of wisdom about my model being "competition shy!" - reference to my Alliaj being much quicker after the comp ended - thanks Joel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Dakin Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks Dave - yes, the Space Lift seemed to cope okay, even with mild interference from my fat thumbs... Your Alliaj looked excellent in the post-comp air - sometimes makes you realise how poorly the air gods have treated you during the race, doesn't it? Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtreble Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Shame the window of flyable weather wasn't a bit longer, but good day anyhow, and worth the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
