| The eighth event of the 2005 series took place at a wet Normanby-le Wold on hilly rough pasture. Junior Ben Offler must be congratulated on his debut in the world of planning courses, even negotiating the addition of two new fields , courtesy of a local farmer. The assembly was in the pleasant surroundings of Mill House Farm with its usual facilities though not the weather this year for ice creams! Control kites not only attracted the interest of competitors but also the bovine fraternity, although this did not deter winners Neil Harvatt on the long and Lee Smith on the short. All trophy categories are close apart from the super-vets where Mike Smith with 48 points on the night, is a clear leader. Lincoln 's John Bennett just edged him by 3 seconds to take second spot. The final three events take place in the Earl of Yarborough 's woods; next week's travel directions necessitate locating the Limber / Swallow X roads on the A 1113 Caistor / Riby road and taking the Great Limber turn for 800 m. Also electronic punching will be operating - bring your dibber; non holders can hire one. |
