Since I last wrote to you we have completed two more Winter League
Rounds, one for the Electric competition and one for the
Thermal.
The 4th Round Electric event was held on 5th February in quite
good conditions. David Taylor won
both the 400 Class and the Open Class competitions. David Ward was 2nd in the 400
Class and I managed 2nd in the Open
Class.
The 4th Round of the Thermal event was held on Sunday19th
February which was pretty remarkable because it poured with rain for most of the
previous day and started raining again just before we finished our final
flights. We were treated to a
flying master class by Keith Fisher who flew maximum slot times all morning and
also managed 140 landing bonus points out of a maximum 150. Bob Hope came home in 2nd
place.
All the results and updated League tables appear on the Club Website
under ‘Competitions’.
By the end of last year we had managed to get 32 members onto this email
circulation list. I am about to
revise the list in accordance with Club membership for 2006. Hopefully, this will enable any new
members to join the circulation. It
will also however, mean that anyone who has not re-joined by early March will be
deleted.
REMINDERS!

On a more general note, the dry winter had allowed us to start parking on
the grass within the upper field at Leigh Park Farm. Please be aware that the recent heavy
rain has turned this into a mud trap again, so restrict your parking to the hard
standing for the time being.
Finally, now that spring is hopefully around the corner, some of you may
be planning ahead for summer shows or regional competitions. The dates for the events we know about
have been recorded on the website under
‘Calendar’.
Best wishes,
Alastair
