CD: Peter Scoles. FAI Judges: Stuart Mellor, Dave Scoles. Judges: Bob Wasson, Garry Armstrong. Score recorder. Peter Scoles. Sponsors: Optifuel. Hosts and barbeque: Linden Model Aircraft Club, thank you gentlemen! Podium: Clubman: 1st Danny Aisthorpe, 2nd Dave Tofton. Advanced: 1st Steve Hunt, 2nd Richard Smith. Masters: Gerhard Fehringer. FAI P11: 1st Matt Hoyland, 2nd Peter Scoles, 3rd Bob Wasson. This was the first competition to be hosted by the LMFC (Grimsby). Weather was very good, probably a little too on the hot side! – wind was a steady breeze that did not cause any problems. We made good time after the completion of the first two rounds, enabling us all to stop for a lunch break together – with a barbecue being laid on by the host club (this also gave me time to catch up on score sheet entry). At the end of the lunch flyers where gathered for a group photograph, then we pressed on with the third round. Finishing with the results and prize giving at about 3.45pm. Flying: FAI – Matt was setting the pace with his usual consistent smooth style, with the rest of us in FAI trying to keep up the best we could. Masters – Gerhard getting to grips with a new plane with very few flights on it, by the third round being just 2½ points off a promotion score. Advanced – Steve & Richard going head to head, with Steve taking the win. Clubman – Dave & Danny from the host club taking part in their very first competition, with Danny prevailing. Hopefully now they have this one under their belt with the experience gained it will lead on to many more. Thanks: Ashley for help setting the box marking guides, along with photographs through out the day. FAI judges Stuart, Dave with the flyer judges Bob, Gary. LMFC for hosting the competition on their site. OptiFuel for providing prizes. And a special thanks to the flyers for supporting the competition. Best Regards, Pete
