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.

Thanks for doing it Gary, we had a great time, and helped build a brand new antweight as well!

Rather late response but thanks for a great event. Lovely seeing you guys again. Sorry I didn't introduce my self and say hi to the new faces. I was a bit preoccupied making sure the ant I built the day before kept going ^_^

Sorting out my bits for upgraded versions of the ants. Looking forward to the next aws!

Also congratz to the winners.
