Commentary:

The weather was perfect for this event, most slots had lift somewhere.  A very limited entry and running this event is difficult as virtually all attendees are flyers so, because of the small numbers and everyone flying, there is no spare effort to start slots, do timekeeping, compute the scores etc.  We managed but a bigger entry would make it a better event.  In the 30 minute slot most entrants flew it out so, for future similar tasks it would be sensible to introduce landing tapes to give a mechanism to differentiate scores.  It is not practical to do so by making this a precision time target as there are no timekeepers available!

Robin Sleight – 23. 7.06 – note team scores  7 points cover (only) the Speed 400 class
