Indulge in intercourse with my antiquated footware! We Flew! At Last we had a task. So we actually have some scores to post.
As usual these are "provisiona"l ready for the odd complaint but at least you have something to commplain about.
Club class failed to leave the hills so don't go looking for scores because everyone won
OK, so this is becoming a bit of a habit, and not a good one.
However this fella called Shedsy turned up to say hello and enjoy a pint in the afternoon with us.
With the forcast looking a bit more optimistic we went up the Mynd.
A few had a little freee fly but that was about it.
But the evening was a the meal night, and what with the rubbish forcast etc it was so nice to see in the order of 80 people enjoying a pint, a bit of rather good nosh and lots of chat.
So afther a disappointing day yesterday we , well , er, had another disappointing day.
Not a lot else to say, except "bum"
A few hardy souls turned up for the mornings briefing. It might be said that there is a clue in the photo as to what will be happening today. (or Not)
Oh shock horror, would you believe it... Day Canned!.
Unfortunately no task was activated, however it was noted that Timbo Swaite had made most commitment and was rewarded accordingly
Well the weather didn't improve. So the last hardy souls put their hands together to give applause the winners of the competition.
All agreed that the results do not reflect the enjoyment had by most at this event.
Thanks were given to Martin Colclough the Competition Meethead, and Trevour Birkbeck for organizing the comp.
Two windy! So day was canned.
So to compensate we did some other things.
Nev Almond did a nice long talk on Kobos and XCsoar.

Some went for a wlak in the glorious country side and watched the wave bars coming and going
Some got a much needed kip.
In the evening we had the competition meal with the added bonus of a band, which even managed to people on the Dance floor.
After mucho conflaberatation we went to Dodd Fell and sat in the cloud. Then it lifted and got better and better. Aviation commenced Heros of the day included Richard Hunt who went of first. Tony Fillingham first away. And Justin Needham who activated the task......... Nearly! So the scores on the board wont be below, because there wasn't any. Dam
