After a windy practice day on Friday, too windy to put up the judges brollies and marquee the forecast was for a calm weekend. Saturday morning disappointingly started with low cloud and showers which delayed the start and meant by the end of the weekend we would lose one round.
At a pilot's briefing later on Saturday it was decided to modify our programme by dropping the 'Unknowns' and making the Team Selection just P19 and F19 with the best of each to count plus the next best flight.
The light breeze throughout the weekend made it difficult at times to decide which was the best direction to fly.
Twenty of us met in the Tollemache Arms Buckminster for a good meal and conversation on Saturday evening. Some even went on to enjoy a pint in the Blue Dog, Sewstern before returning to a cold night in the camp site.
Just like to say thank you to everyone for their help to make the competition run smoothly all weekend and especially to all the first time Clubman pilot's for keeping their nerves under control, I hope each and every one enjoyed their weekend as much as I did.
All the results are on the forum page for the competition.
