Sunday looks like a dry day with a wind from the west which is below 10mph on average, but gusting to 15/18 mph.
If these conditions hold the postponed Steel Trophy contest will be run 10:00 onwards at New Bigging.

Come and Try
This Saturday (9th) the club is running a Control Line Aerobatic competition in Pitencrief Park (The Glen) as part of “Come and Try week”.
Our event will be on the South lawn with setting up starting at 9:00 with the tent arriving 10:00 and flying 11:00 to 16:00. The plan is to have a static display and RC simulator in the tent overlooking two circles on the South Lawn. Also commentary will be provided from the tent. One circle will be used for the Bob Hutton Trophy competition and the second for display flying and “Come and Try” by visitors. It is also hoped to have catapult/hand launch gliders down wind of the circles for “Come and Try”.
The forecast is sunny and dry until 13:00 then sunshine and showers thereafter. Wind will be Westish 11mph but experience over many years is that forecast speed tends to drop as time passes up to the event.
