The sun has risen on the final day of the UK 18m & 20m Multi-Seat National and Cotswold Regionals. We were treated to an incredible display of noctilucent cloud to the north shortly before midnight last night. Yesterday was a scoring day in all three classes again (although only just in the 20m). We'll release the preliminary scores a little later on with the official results released this evening too. I just want to say thank you to all our competitors, crew and volunteers for their patience through a difficult and hot week.

We're now onto the penultimate day of the UK 18m & 20m Multi-Seat Nationals and Cotswold Regionals. After three days of temperatures reaching 30 or more, today is forecast to be a few degrees cooler with tomorrow looking even cooler still - a well needed respite from the heat.

Thank you once again for your patience today. The conditions have once again not proved to be right and thus we have scr...

Thank you once again for your patience today. The conditions have once again not proved to be right and thus we have scrubbed day 7 of the competition. Hopefully we can get some soarable weather over the weekend.
