Gromit Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Southern Winter League F3f 2016/17.. This season, the Southern winter league F3f comps of 2016/17 will be hosted & staged by the Whitesheet RFC in Wiltshire. This was similarly done for the 2014/15 season and proved to be both very popular & successful indeed. Each comp being very well supported, both by regular F3f pilots, & those entering an F3f comp for the very first time. The Winter league comps are run in a warm friendly atmosphere, and are the perfect introduction for newcomers to F3f. Its the way that most of today’s regularly competing F3f pilots themselves started. Lots of hints, tips, advice & encouragement are always gladly & freely given at these events. After a very difficult personal yr for all my family, which forced me to be away from my being Whitesheet's Comp Sec, I am very much looking forward to shortly returning to this very enjoyable & rewarding position. I am already enjoying there organising & am looking forward to running these comps. I wish to thank in advance team 'Gifcof' members Graeme & Tony, who have already offered their invaluable practical help on race days, thanks guys. With the additional much appreciated co-operation & help of many other pilots as in the 2014/15, I believe we are all set for a very enjoyable & successful Southern Winter league. Southern Winter League dates 2016/17.. Nov 13th, reserve 27th Dec 11th No reserve (its Xmas). Jan 8th reserve 29th. Feb 12th reserve 26th. I shall post entry details & dates in good time prior to each comp. Regards Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
