It was great to be back at Bristol this weekend after the Olympic ‘holiday’ last year. We had two days of sunny weather with good wind mostly, if a little variable/turbulent at times.

Standard JMH 1.5s with race on Saturday worked 'all day'. We started with standard JMH 1.5s with race on Sunday then switched to JMH 1.5 vented with 3 wrap but were back to the standard 1.5s for the last performance.

No ‘Mega Fly’ opportunity but the sequence of arena presentations kept the ‘very large’ audience very attentive throughout the weekend.

Apart from the kite festival auction on Saturday evening there were various ‘charity fund raising raffles’ over the weekend and Jacob was a winner. It will be interesting to learn which prize option he chooses! (Hot air ballooning to sushi making... <grins>)

Back to Blackheath next weekend and I hope that we can sort out a ‘Super Sixteen’ weekend before Christmas. It’s all about the logistics…
