Sunday 28 June was the Foamy comp for the Peter Cope Memorial Trophy. Congratulations are due to Martin for winning and Arnold and Glyn for coming 2nd and 3rd respectively. It was rather a windy session but fortunately the temperatures did not reach the same levels as earlier in the week. The earlier start paid off as the temperatures only started to become uncomfortable for the last 2 slots. Full results in the 2026 events tab. CD John Barrow.

Sunday 14 June eSoaring Comp . The weather was brilliant with some good lift with just the right amount of breeze to make the air 'interesting' and of course some cracking cake as usual from Mrs Chambers (Glyn's wife). The results were very close at the top, well done to Martin for the win with only a fag paper separating him and Glyn. We had Alex as a guest flyer join us for the competition today but as he is a guest then his score cannot be included in the league. Best of all, everyone took home undamaged models. CD Phil Goldsmith. The next club comp is the Foamy Comp for the Pete Cope Memorial Trophy on the 28th of June.
