It is with much regret that the above event, that had been re-scheduled for this coming Sunday 7th October, has been cancelled.

The forecast wind direction (N - NNW) as well as being 90 deg to the runway direction has significant safety issues for the Cashmoor site with both turbulence and the into wind (across runway) takeoff direction relative to pit/spectator areas etc. being an issue.

It is hoped that the event can now be run in the Spring of next year (2019) and efforts are now being made to find a suitable date(s) when the facilities at Cashmoor can be made available again.

Once again apologies for the cancellation, had the wind been in any other direction the forecast conditions (whilst marginal) would have been suitable for the contest to go ahead, however safety considerations must take priority in such circumstances.

Many thanks
