MDWS 3 – URGENT INFORMATION

Despite positive thinking (and positive figures on the forecast earlier in the week) the air temperatures for Bournville for tonight and Saturday night have, on some forecasts, dipped into the blue.

We are not panicking yet Mr Mainwaring but skippers will need to check these pages tomorrow night to be sure the event is still on.

The race team will make every effort to contact people by text, email, carrier pigeon if the event is in danger of being called off so please keep your eyes, ears and phones on.

An inspection will be made as last time as late as is reasonably practical given the need to keep people informed.

MDWS 3 – Bournville – Rescheduled Entry List

Currently on the list for Sunday’s re-run of MDWS3 at Bournville are:-

Darin Ballington, Mike Thompson, Tony Edwards (the Tiger is back!!), Dennis Payne, Mick Chamberlain, Chris Cook, Don Charlesworth, Mick Shillington, Graham Whalley, Greg King, Bill Green, John Harris, Mike Weeks, Laurie Brown & Tony Snedker.
