CLOUD TRAMP POSTAL CONTEST 2010

 

Once again I thank you all for your support and participation ... some new names on the list, some past ones missing ... but 25 entries. One more than in 2009 but a far cry from the 177 that participated in the MIMLOCT (for which reports and photos may be viewed on the Cloud Tramp website) so please try to encourage others to join us in 2011.

I have posted the undernoted entries and scores to the CT event within the 19th WorldWide Postal, which closes June 30th, 2011. However, as you did not specifically enter the WWP as such, should you feel that you could better the scores posted here then please feel free to fly your CTs again before that date, and Ill happily substitute and update the results in that contest.

I look forward to running this fun event once again next year, from August 6th to September 30th, though there’s a possibility it might be the final event – mainly because it is an integral part of the World Wide Postal which I may well bring to a close, after twenty continuous years, when the 2011/12 event is eventually concluded. However the decision(s) are not yet written in stone!

I hope to welcome each one of you back again – and, as said, do try to talk someone else into building and flying a Cloud Tramp (or even into flying yours -no BOM rule, remember). If you forwarded scores on behalf of those without email addresses, please ensure they receive a copy of this report.

The main thing about this ‘contest’ is that everyone has fun. Theres no better motive or incentive.

Thank you again one and all and at this time of year may I wish you a very happy forthcoming holiday season and good flying in 2011, no matter what your F/F or other interests might be.
