There is a chance of some thunderstorms coming through so it could be a bit of a gamble. If in doubt call or text me on 07720 450 156 and I let you know what the current plan is.

If you are coming up, back sure you grab a bite to eat first as there isn’t going to be a BBQ tonight.

Given the slim chance of actually flying I was quite impressed to see quite so many people up there, either we’re all hopeless optimist or we can sniff out a BBQ burger at 5 miles.

The plan is to attempt to reconvine next Monday 27th June for a second bash at it, but we are waiting for confirmation that we can use the field and that there aren’t any full size events on. I’ll email around when I have word.

BREAKING NEWS: Just had word that Monday 27th is good for a rerun (minus the burgers that is), lets hope the weather improves abit.

Ted and Dave where already setup and flying when I arrived and Steve Clark arrived shortly after. Steve and Ted seemed to be getting the best of the flying, Ted with his Elan and Steve with his 3 meter moldie.
