F3K - Sat. & Sun. 12th & 13th May More information and current entry list available on these forums. Camping is available at the competition field from 3pm the day before the competition, water and toilets are provided. Both weekends will include an evening barbecue, Sunday for F5J and Saturday for F3K. To keep things simple it'll be pay-as-you-eat, with a small charge for burgers, hot-dogs, etc. to cover the costs. Please let me know if you wish to eat from the BBQ so I have some idea of numbers to cater for, either post a reply on either of the forums above or email me at Fun flying in the evenings with small r/c electric models or free flight is allowed once the day's competition flying has finished. A Full English breakfast is available at the Station Buffet from 8am. The station is either a 3km drive, or 1.5km walk on paths through the fields.
