Paragliding Club Comp - decided to cancel
I'm not sure about running the comp now...farmers are still a bit jiffy
about large numbers on site and I can understand why...
Sorry for the short notice, this decision was not easy.

Find somewhere quiet....
Before going out on a soarable day... sharpen up at your local field with some good ground handling practise... it will help to stop getting dragged into the sunset !
Bognor Birdman
The Birdman comp this year had more modified HG's than prevoius years... I only won by 2.5 metres over a two day event !
Next year the prize money is going up to £30,000 ! so I think its time for going ridgid.
Happy 101m flying

Re: John wallis..
John Wallis, I decide not to mention anything to Mr Telford about what Steve has done. I am staying well out of it. I am very happy with the agreement I have with the land owner.
