mtreble Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 With the Whitesheet League event cancelled, we now have the reserve date on 8th July to try again. Unfortunately Whitesheet are unable to host this event, so this event will be hosted on the slopes around Eastbourne. Entry will open on 27th June at 10pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromit Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 With the forecasts continuing to show the wind to be coming from an NE -E -SE direction, its worked out well that the venue is Eastbourne rather than Whitesheet. I see we have a good entry of 21 pilots Stu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnEP Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hello People i am calling the comp off after a long look at several forecasts only one is giving wind that would be suitable, plus the slope we would have to use needs a good steady breeze to work well there will wind to fly but just not enough for a comp is my thinking, real shame with the entry 's have so saddly I have to say off JP 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromit Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 With your local knowledge i'm certain you will have made the right call JP, real shame but nothing more you can do. My thanks to Mark & JP for your organizing, much appreciated. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the right call though, the wind strength just isn't there and it's due to swing a bit during the day. Thanks to the organisers though for at least trying to get a reserve date in the calendar.

isoaritfirst Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Eastbourne lost in the heat haze. There was wind across the front. Happy to be out on the bike though, Been up by Beachy head and Butts lane, and the long man. Nice countryside. Liz picked me up at Alfriston so I could get back easily to watch the match. And we won.
