The BIFFA Christmas Newsletter

Was delighted to get the BIFFA Online Newsletter to members this morning. If you haven't received it, just let me know at datchetman@flyingfifteen.com and I'll forward you a copy. It contains a good summary of the major events in 2010 and has a special focus section on Club Racing. In the Club racing section there is some dialogue about increasing turnouts that you should read - and the importance of active Fleet Officers, sharing the workload and so on. BIFFA is going to feature Dovestone in a future item and the way they share the load there.

I agree very much with the sentiment that it's better to have lots of people involved and sharing the work - at Datchet around 6 of us are actively involved in the running of the fleet. If you have any ideas you should let the FC know, and why not drop a line to BIFFA as well.

On the circuit front, there was an interesting snippet - 32 Clubs had competitors in the Championship series in 2010. Pretty good...

There are good reports on the new experimental FF rig and also the importance of Communications ( "Datchet Man" mentioned - hurrah !!) which we would wholeheartedly agree with.

Let me know if you need a copy...
