October showed distinct change in weather. Mostly it was windy but there were a few calmer days (usually accompanied by changes of air conditions). Generally most people found a passible day and rushed out when the weather improved.

In Open, Mike won with 1930 flight points (1000 normalised) with three flights close to maximum. Second was Martyn Wharrie with 1804 flight points (935). Martyn had two good flights but only manage around 8 minutes in the other. Third was David with 1770 flight points (917).

In 2M, things were closer. Martin Wharrie won with 1470 flight points (1000). Second was Jon with 1467 flight points (998) and Dave Langley was third with 1372 flight points (933).

Results are shown below.

In spite of the Covid19 pandemic we managed to run a Postal Competition this year. However, it ran over five instead of our usual eight round competition. The competitors had to cope with differing regulations in different regions of the UK with some areas restricted in terms of distance allowed to travel and with some fields open and others closed. Well done to all who participated.

Nevertheless, the ability to go flying in a rural setting was one of the activities that made the year somewhat more bearable, particularly after the initial lock down.

In Open, Mike had closed out the competition with a month to spare and scored 4000 in first place. Martyn Wharrie was second with 3768 and David Hunter was third with 3727. Unfortunately Alan did not fly in October and missed the opportunity to press David.

In 2M, Dave Langley was the clear winner with 3933, again having clinched the win with a round to spare. Second was Jon with 3797 and Martyn Wharrie was third with 3741.

Obviously, it is impossible to say whether we can restart with the next series in March 2021. This will depend upon the government regulations in place at that time. However, we will endeavour to run a competition next year.

Certificates will be sent to the first three in each competition.
