After May’s competition the weather could only be better, well in theory at least In the end still breezy, few very light showers and sunny intervals...English summer! Again, although the final entry list was 21, due to various circumstances, this had dropped to 13 on the day However it was a pleasure to welcome two new faces at Mansfield after they had travelled 127 miles (Shahid and Mark) In an attempt to stop the score sheets from trying to turn into origami objects in the wind, I came up with a cunning plan to keep them together which I hope helped the scribes and Tom who did most of the score recording The flying order was Masters, Advanced, Intermediate, FAI with judges being from the competitors list plus Stuart Once the flying began the Catering Team (Valerie and Brian) did an excellent job of providing butties and drinks The battle for the league in Intermediate is as close as ever with both Adam & Steve gaining promotion scores In Masters there was a tie for third place with Mark being the winner All in all I felt the competition was a success 3 rounds, prompt start, friendly atmosphere, lots of help from club members and the competitors themselves meant and I also got to see a lot of the flying Thanks to everyone who came and flew, judged, scribed, added up the scores, special thanks to the Mansfield club for allowing the use of the field and of course the BBQ team of Valerie and Brian Trevor Date: 19/07/10 Photos and report to follow.
