Everything is in place for the competition this weekend. Looking forward to seeing lots of you there.

Due to popular demand we now have 3 events; Performance, Artistics and Tracking.

Fingers crossed that the British Weather is kind to us so we have time for some good flocks after the comp!

What a fantastic weekend, thanks to everyone for coming along, especially our friends who travelled from Russia, Belgium and Ireland.

We (ambitiously) held 3 events at the same time; Artistics, Performance and Tracking and some of our competitors entered all 3 which certainly kept our judges busy (thanks Klaus, Kate and Liz).

The Artistics results:

Senior Category (4 rounds)
1st - Defy Gravity (Russia) 80 points
2nd - Aquila (UK) 59.5 pts
3rd - Oxygen (Belgium) 51.5 pts

Intermediate (3 complete rounds)
1st - The Flying Bobs (UK) 23.5 pts
2nd - Hazy Cosmic Jive (UK) 18 pts
3rd - Tartan Cluster (UK) 16.5 pts

The Performance Competition results are here:

Senior winner - Andre Taylor (S-Bird)
2nd place - Steve Thomas (S-Bird)
3rd place - Mike Williams (X-Bird)

Intermediate winner - Sam Lamming (Phantom2)
2nd place - Mark Wane (Phantom 2)
3rd place - Redy Redfern (M-Bird)

We had 28 competitors who did 205 jumps in 2 days and only 1 Flysight issue. Thanks Flysight, Tonysuits, PhoenixFly, Paralog, Vigil, Larsen & Brusgaard and APA Netheravon for prizes and support.

PS: I wonder when Purple Mike will petition for a performance rodeo category?
