After a poor year when only 3 events out of the 6 run so far have counted towards the league results, could Horcum add a 4 th event? 30 Competitors travelling from all over the country certainly hoped so. The day started well, the Horcum Team, ( Richard, Keith, Mick, Mark and Jon ) arrived an hour early ( the fact that the clocks went back the night before helped!! ). The course was set up well in advance of the competition start time. A strong South wind gusting to over 30mph and clear skies boded well for some fast times, and we were not disappointed. The competition started on time, and with many times in the low 40’s throughout the first round, things were looking good. Round 2 started and times were even faster. Nigel Potter managing a cracking 37.40 in increasingly turbulent conditions. Clouds on the horizon? Surely not. By the time pilot 22 Frank Hulton stepped up to the podium, an increasing quantity of rain was starting to fall. Flying stopped and the 30min delay timer was set.

30mins later the second round was cancelled, leaving only the rain to fall increasingly heavier. By 1pm and no sign of any letup in the weather, the comp was abandoned. 30 very wet and I mean wet, competitors left the slope for the sanctuary of the Saltersgate Pub and a prize giving ceremony to mark the end of the 2005 season.

Thanks to Ian Mason for all his sterling work in being League Co-ordinator for the last two years. Ian has stepped down from the role, leaving a gap for the 2006 co-ordinator . Any volunteers?

Well, here’s to a better season next year. Don’t forget you can still get some practice in over the winter by attending the Horcum Winter League F3F series starting on the 5 th November. ( see elsewhere on this web site for all the other winter league dates ) .

See you all there
