It just doesn’t seem possible that we actually flew 8 events this year, so many weekends seemed to be wet or windy or both, but we did.
Just 4 comps were run this season at the home venue Bartletts Farm, 2 more were included as part of the Kent League, both run at separate venues in Kent. The Ipswich Club ran 1 at Little Bentley and another was part of Radioglide held at the BMFA Flying Centre. This was also a trial event for inclusion into the BARCS rule book, and as reported the trial was successful.
A total of 60 pilots flew in the league, most in 2 or 3 events, 18 flew 4 or more.
All things considered, this has been the toughest season I can recall, and as can be seen in the results, the top 3 places are covered by just 6 points.
Congratulations to league winner Randy Taylor, a well-deserved and hard fought achievement.
And thanks to all organisers, competitors and helpers who enabled us all to enjoy this great series.
Looking forward to more of the same next year.
