F3F Winter League at Horcum 1st Dec 2018
Unfortunately the competition has been cancelled. Weather forecast showed a day of rain, mist, and fog over the hills. With such a scenario it is difficult to envisage completing a competition, so the day was called off
First F3F Winter League at Horucm 3 Nov 2018
Well that was a bit breezy to say the least! Some great flying in what were quite gusty conditions. Wind was square on to the South slope and averaged 16m/s throughout the day
The day started with three consecutive sub 40's and the trend continued with nearly half the flights being sub 40, throw in a couple of PB's ( Ewan and Steve that I know of ) and at the end of the 11 rounds, I think one could say the 17 pilots had a good day!!
Congrats to Mark R for his win, Greg D in second and Peter in third. A stunning FTD went to Steve with a 31.22 in R8
Result Summary as follows :-

Weather forecast was not too good, and that put folks off attending. Saturday was a lovelly day, winds a bit on the light side but Levisham was an easy slope to get to with all the models. Fair turnout on Saturday, but Sunday was a dissapointment. Weather much better than forecast with winds on the NE slope, but lack of flyers meant the event was called off. Shame as a lot of effort was put into the organisation. Hopefully next year will be better.
Welsh F3F Open and Eurotour 31st Aug - 2nd Sept 2018
A great social gathering as well as a hard fought flying comp. A great weekend, weather was kind to us with flying taking place on all three days. Winds were light and variable, but that just added to the unknown of who was winning and who wasn't! The GBRSRA AGM took place as usual on the Friday night, details to be found here.
So after 14 rounds the man in front with some terrific flying was Joel West,well done mate, second place went to Mark Treble, with John Philips third. FTD went to Stu Wallace for a 'cracking' 38.17 in R2.Mike Shellim was voted 'the most improved pilot of the year' by GBRSRA members, and was presented with his trophy by Mark Treble.

A great spectacle of modeling activity for all forms of power models. The Glider Nats are held over the same weekend, but at the new BMFA site of Buckminster. My hopes for good weather over the weekend was ill founded. Saturday was good, but Sunday was a washout. . I attended the Swap meet on Sunday morning. Footfall was badly down compared to other years. Shame really, as a lot of effort goes into this event. Oh well, here's to next year!
Elvington LMA Weekend 11th / 12 Aug 2018
Forecast at the beginning of the week was looking dire. After all that great weather we have had, Elvington looked doomed, doomed I tell you! But never trust a weather forecaster. The predictions improved all the time, and by the weekend Saturday was a cracking day, and even the rain forecast for Sunday petered out into a damp squid. Although overcast, it was not the washout predicted. Hope everybody who went had a good day
North of England F3F Open 22nd - 24th June 2018
What a fantastic weekend for our Eurotour and World Cup event. Blue sky, blue sky and you've guessed, blue sky! The only problem with all that blue sky was it didn't come with any wind!. Well it did, just a bit, but it was variable in strength and direction, as the whole of the UK was under a huge High Pressure system. Of the three days, Friday looked the best day, but the variability allowed us to scrape in only 2 round of competition on the NW slope. Saturday, again on the NW, we managed only 1 round, and Sunday we all had written off as the worst day with the least wind forecast. But how wrong can you be. The South Bowl came up trumps, with most consistent wind of the whole weekend. Another 3 round was added to our tally, making for 6 in all. We would have liked more, but hey, it was legal as only 4 rounds are needed for it to count.
So congratulation to Sebastien for first place, Keith in second, and Phillipe in third.

For the first time in the Clubs history, bad weather resulted in the AGM being cancelled. We were unable to get a quorum of members, and so the meeting was cancelled. In the meantime, notes taken at the previous Committee Meeting where we discussed the items for the AGM, have been added as 'Club Newsletter 90' for information
F3F Winter League R7, 17th Mar 2018
Unbelievably, a second blast from Siberia is due to hit North Yorkshire on the day of our last Winter League Comp. With bitterly cold Easterly winds and more snow on the forecast, the comp was declared OFF. So ends our Winter League series for another year. Many thanks to all who supported us, and look forward to a sunny ( and breeezy ) year ahead.
F3F Winter League R6, 3rd Mar 2018
Well the "Beast from the East" as the media called a spell of severe weather coming in from Siberia, put paid to any chance of running a comp on Saturday. Not only was there a fair amount of snow at Horcum, travel around the UK was also a problem. The competition was cancelled. We are now left with the last reserve date of the 17th March.
F3F Winter League R5, 17th Feb 2018
Well, a good day once we started flying, but we had a long wait for the mist to clear. Don't trust a weather forecaster, especially one which predicted a breezy sunny afternoon.
Just as we were giving up, the cloud suddenly lifted and there followed a frantic scramble to put the course up again and re-rig models.
We finally got the first round started at the very late hour of 15:15.
With aim of just getting the minimum rounds in, conditions remained stable enough for us to squeeze in a total of 7 in the 2 hours of daylight remainingSo the 8 pilots finally got to enjoy the delights of light winds on the South Bowl, with Peter Gunning coming out on top, Ewan Maxwell in second, and Rich claiming third. FTD went to Peter with a 50.68 in R1. Well done guys.

F3F Winter League R4, 3rd Feb 2018
The forecast for Saturday was for very little wind, variable direction, and chance of some rain. The comp was called off - an easy decision for once!
However, now the good news. As we have lost two events, then BOTH reserve dates kick in. So the next event will be 17th Feb, followed by 3rd March and finally 17th MarchF3F Winter League R3, 6th Jan 2018
Great day! Weather forecasts were spot-on, with 20-25mph NE winds, occasional showers and bitterly cold. However I had enough clothes on, that I felt like a well trussed Chicken on Gasmark8! Wind dropped as the day progressed, but never-the-less, the 8 pilots managed a respectable 12 rounds before dusk descended and we marched, well staggered, back to the carpark.
A welcome return of Mark Redsell showed he had lost none of his flying skills, with a decisive win, with Greg Dakin in second and Rich Bago third. FTD also went to Mark with a 34.33 in R6 .
Final position were :-
1 Mark Redsell 10734.92 1000 2 Greg Dakin 10570.10 985 3 Rich Bago 9767.87 910 4 Steve Haley 9453.62 881 5 Mark Treble 9233.51 860 6 Mark Passingham 8837.69 823 7 Bob Dickenson 7788.62 726 8 Jon Edison 7700.70 717 Congratulations to the top three, and many thanks to everyone for your help
