Contest Directors Report
Dan Smith disappointment
again ..... not snow this year, but horrid, persistent warm-front
low cloud.
Early on Saturday it all
started deceptively well. The first four of the 17 entrants had a
clear
4,000 feet and
 flew
the full Sports known sequence.
George Rizk was
particularly impressive with a very tight and well-positioned
flight, scoring 77%.
Milos Rambert,
well-known display pilot and one of our five Czech visitors, fell
victim to the first
of
the low cloud that drifted in, and Paul
 Conran, at number six, had
to abandon his aero-tow half way up ... and that
was it.
The weather forecast was
rotten so we made the best of a great evening, with dinner in the
restaurant and an international gathering in the bar. Early Sunday
however we had to scrub the event, there was
just no other option.
 Such
a shame to get everything and everyone in
place and then be frustrated. There is a move
afoot to re-schedule soon!
A big thank you to all
who managed, judged and tried to compete .... and a particular
apology to our noble Czech friends for the bloody English weather
again!
