Barbon 12th May

[flagwaver]

Just back from Barbon, what a funny meeting. Damp in the beginning, One heavy shower a few smaller ones and thankfully sunshine after lunchtime for the timed runs.

Entries were a bit on the low side, but still made for a good meeting. Even though there was no butty wagon there first thing in the morning.

Unfortunately I can't tell you who got the fastest times etc., because I couldn't hear the PA that well.

as said by Flagwaver a damp start with a heavy shower during the first of the class runs but after that the sun tried its best to appear and dried most of the track FTD 0.2s outside of course record
Good to see Hamish in the runoff
Buttie wagon thought the event was on a different day ( a few frantic phone calls to get him out of bed and there were made in the morning)

It was a bit strange having breakfast at 11:45!

Where were you stood so that you couldn't hear the Tannoy? The only trouble I had was when a car went past!

The problem with the entries was due to the Harewood meeting the following day NOT being a Leaders round. The bulk of the non-starters at Barbon fell into this category.

I was sat in the Rescue Unit, so that was mainly why I did not catch all the commentary.
