Report by Chris Watt
We had a wet and windy
weekend after a good start on Saturday, Q500 in the morning
followed after lunch by F3R
Some heats had to be run in between rain squalls but we were
able to get it done with some great help from all flyers and
our faithful Timers, Kevin, Linda, Cathy & Karen. Jo Taylor
also hopped into the timing cage on her crutches to help out
on saturday. Hope you get better Jo. Kevin & Karen came to
Maryborough to help run the event even though Chris was not
Flying, thats dedication.
Sunday dawned cooler and wetter and we had to dodge showers
all day, however after a lot of patience from the timers and
cut judges everything was completed. F3D in the morning
followed after lunch by F3T.
A QMARA meeting was held and the newly elected CD is Bruce
De'Chastel. The QMARA members on the Australian F3D team for
the world champs in July, Kevin & Christopher Callow & Tyler
& Warren Mees, were farewelled and given donations from
QMARA towards their costs, we all wished them well.
The Maryborough Club prepared the fields for us as usual and
they were in good condition. The food was fantastic as
always and having a nice hot Bacon & Egg roll for breakfast
was the best start to the day. The German Sausage at lunch
was to die for as was the rest of the food. A real treat
were the hot sausages handed out during a rain delay to keep
us all warm. Thank to all of the Maryborough Club members
who helped out in the canteen and looked after us.
