Welsh Open 2008

Entry is now closed
There is a reserve list. If you want to go on it e-mail Kevin Newton with your name, 2 x 35mhz frequencies and confirmation that you hold valid insurance.

Sponsors
Our good friend Kin from www.smartmodel.org will be sponsoring us again. This time with servos as well as gliders - what a guy.
Please e-mail if you want your products to be part of the fastest F3F event on the planet.

Teams
There will be a trophy for each member of the top three man team. You do not have to fly as a team, but if you want to, either include your team details when you enter or get them to me by 31 July.

Entry fee
We need to cover the expenses of land usage, trophies, Eurotour fees and so on. The entry will be Ł20. You won't need to pay until 13 September.

The event
Each day you must be at the Bwlch T junction of the A4107 and A4061 (map here http://www.knewt.com/bwlch/thebwlch.htm ) by 8.15 in time for a 9:00 start. Each day the last round in progress will be that running at 17:30. If the conditions are light and a round started before 17:30 is unlikely to be completely finished that day the Competition Director will consider using group scoring so that we don't lose several hours of competition time. Group scoring will be a last resort, and will not be used if at all possible.

Banquet
This is a lot of hassle for a very small club to organise. We are looking at what we can do, but there is a risk we may all end up in a pub drinking beer - yikes!

Additional information
Bases will be set back as far as possible, this will allow the safety line to go back a little also. The turn points will be marked in the normal forward position by an additional marker.

We are currently considering rotation of the flying order - more information soon.

Turn judges will be very strongly instructed to acknowledge any errors and the pilot will refly immediately. We all know that some apparently late buzzes are just great flying, others are turn judge error and it is this that we want to acknowledge and eradicate in a supportive way for the turn judge. This worked very well last year and we are keen to build on that success.
