The weather, while not bad made it necessary to dance around the field over the three days. Friday warm and humid, in the 80's with wind from the SW. Saturday was cooler with temperature in the mid 70's with wind from the South. Rain that lasted 1.5 hrs in the morning and 2.0 hrs in the late afternoon made flying difficult during those periods. Those of us at the control center were glad to have a new tent on this day. Sunday dawned with a gentle 3mph drift from the South. Everyone set up hoping it would stay all day BUT all day lasted about 1.5 hrs. The wind moved around to the West with the strongest gusting of the three days at 9mph. Conditions remained this way for the balance of Sunday. Sadly the attendance was about ½ of last year at 24. Also very disappointing is the fact that NO Junior flyers were in attendance. There were also no entries in 1/4A NosGas, Old Time Gas and F1P (J/S) making a total of seven (7) events with no entries.
There were 28 attendees at the Saturday night dinner. All that I contacted were very satisfied with the meal. A few of the awards that were not distributed on the field were presented and W.N.Y.F.F.S. President Brad Bane offered a sincere thank you to competitors who traveled some distance to enjoy our contest. Friend and emissary Jim Moseley from the “Frozen North” offered his complements re: the contest and the excellent meal. After the dinner, some social time and then off to rest up for Sunday.
The 50/50 raffle was won by Brad Bane who fought the odds by winning in spite of the fact that he bought multiple tickets. Some of the ticket purchasers were of the opinion that it would be won by someone who purchased only one ticket. Brad donated his winnings back to WNYFFS. Thank-you Brad.
Thank-you to all that attended, best regards until next we meet .......Lyle Whitford
