Just got in, thanks to the Aylwards and Ian for a very enjoyable and fun event :) as ever everyone was excellent company and made the trip worthwhile, it was good to meet some of the relative newcomers too (although whether Little Doris counts as a newcomer is debatable, heh ;P) and I was quite pleased with how Jigsaw performed...it was also good to be able to entertain people with Jetstream's antics :)

Thanks also to Marco for the lift to Morden, much appreciated and I owe you one ^^

Yet another great day out on the south coast thanks to all the organisers and other competitors. As was the aim it was more relaxed than a full AWS but still just as competitive once in the arena.

Results:
Non-spinner
Gauntlet
Full Combat

Since Ian is happy to organise the venue, I am hoping to make this a regular event. Hopefully future events will avoid the school holidays and attract some support from local schools too.

James and I are already starting to plan a new and improved Gauntlet to challenge everyone's driving skills!

I think the non-spinner arena was successful in providing some slightly longer fights by requiring some direction in pushing of an opponent. Chairs will be provided for any future Pushy vs Ouchie re-match! :)

Thanks to everyone that supported the event. I think the numbers were just right and it was great to see some new and old faces.
