Just a few words to thank Declan, Alan, Ger and lads of the Midland MFC at Boora, Kilcormac, County Offaly for a truly memorable day in their organisation of the Scale competition held last Sunday the 30th May 2010.
The warm welcome, tea, coffee, biscuits, cakes and a fine dinner of home cooked beef, potatoes, mixed vegetables and gravy, followed by more tea, an easy going manner, humour and comfort were truly appreciated. To this add a perfectly manicured runway set in a tranquil and spacious pastoral scene, were with the warm and sunny day the ingredients of what was a special and thoroughly enjoyable day.
It is worth noting, that while the number of scale pilots who competed were about or slightly below the norm, the inevitable compulsion to keep the show on the road at all times as would be the case with a larger number of competing pilots was reduced, which made the Boora experience a relaxed, soothing and pleasant one.
It was rewarding to have our trained Judges Alan and Ger take the reins of authority, and without any assistance spend their entire day judging for all scale classes, which they did with dedication and unmitigated enthusiasm. The way to go, and thanks to you both.
I have no doubt but that Boora will be an up and coming location for future scale events, and it is without question that all scale pilots should make it their business to check the Midland MFC or MACI webpage for events there, carefully diary the date, get down there and check it out. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again to the Midland MFC.
