Avoid all villages for noise abatement purposes and observe the normal 'Rules of the Air'.
Some hangerage available by arrangement with the CD.
Beginners - Pilots will fly the known sequence twice. The scores will be combined in the same way as they are at higher levels. Pilots wishing to fly in both Beginners and Standard level should give careful consideration to the high intensity of flying this may involve.
Intermediate - As the Nigel Newbold Trophy was not contested at Sandtoft, it will now be awarded to the Intermediate pilot with the highest combinded scores at this event.
