COMPETITION CANCELLED ---- COMPETITION CANCELLED ---- COMPETITION CANCELLED
 

Cancellatiion of this comp will come as no surprise to you all with the weather forecast for Sunday 22nd September being  particularly grim with Rain/Thunderstorms forecast. This after weeks of perfectly flyable weather.

This is the third Tonbridge Club F5J comp that has had to be cancelled in succession due to adverse weather conditions. Because of this the organisers would now like to solicit your thoughts/opinion as to whether in future we should consider changing over to the Saturday/Sunday format whereby the day the comp is held on can be either the Saturday or Sunday depending on weather with preference being given to Sunday if both days are flyable. This hopefully would mean there is less chance of having to cancel a comp due to bad weather on a single day.  If this format were to be adopted it would simply mean that you would have to indicate when entering which day(s) you were able to fly on.

Could you please take a few minutes to post on this thread your thoughts/opinion on possibly moving over to this format. Thank you.

 

Tonbridge club are hosting a BMFA League F5J competition at Leigh Park Farm, Nr Tonbridge, Kent on Sunday 22nd Septmber 2019.  All are welcome with plenty of help available on the day for newcomers.

For those flyers that  paid for entry of our weather disrupted F5J comp on 16 June 2019, entry to this competition is FREE. We would ask though that you please re-enter on this thread so that we know who will be attending.

Directions to the field can be found here:

The competition will be run to F5J rules with UK variations as published by the BMFA.

The main points for BMFA F5J comps are:
- Either Open or 2m may be flown, not both.
- Motor restart may be used (results in a zero flight score), and therefore you need only to use your eSoaring switch BUT you must reset the (200m) height limit to 300m this can often be done easily by using a reader, otherwise use a computer.
- As in eSoaring, you must provide a reader, so that your timekeeper can check your launch height immediately after landing.
- Minimum of 4 rounds to be flown but usually 6 rounds are flown. No fly-off's.

Entry fee £10.00 (BMFA requirement) payable on the day. * See Above
Proof of insurance (BMFA membership card is sufficient) required

Closing date for entries is 6.00pm Friday 20th September 2019
In the event that there is any doubt as to whether the event will be run due to forecasted inclement weather, a final decision will be posted on  this thread by no later than 4pm on Saturday 21st September.

We look forward to seeing you on the field.

Book in from 9am. First flight’s 10.00am
