Chichester Snowflake #4
West Sussex, Sunday 23rd Feb
Round 12 - RS Aero UK Winter Series
Gales Cancel another days racing!
It has been windy now in the UK for about as long as we can remember - almost all year in fact. This weekend the Chichester Snowfake fell victim to the current gales and lost the final day of their 4 day Snowflake Series which was to be included in the RS Aero UK Winter Series.
None the less, Mark Riddington of Emswoth Slipper SC achieved success for the RS Aeros in the earlier races of the series to score 2nd overall in the mixed class Medium fleet.

RS Aero storm chasers, Bartlett and Barton, were nearly at Chichester before mission HQ (Greg's mum!) informed the team of the cancelation posted on facebook. Undeterred they returned to Lymington in time to make the 11:00 Perishers race start and when that was blown off too Greg insisted they went out for a wild blast on the western Solent!
