2022 PMFC contests
Over five rounds at Ferry Meadows, the top three in each class are:
P20: 1st Mick Page 11 points, 2nd Bert Whitehead and Luke Goymour 7 each.
Scale Precision: 1st Brian Lever 8, 2nd Bert Whitehead 7, 3rd Martin Skinner 3.
Open Rocket: 1st Luke Goymour 9, 2nd Brian Lever and Bert Whitehead 5.
E20: 1st Luke Goymour 7, 2nd Peter Gibbons 5, 3rd Jon Whitmore 2.
36" Glider: 1st Chris Grant 11, 2nd Brian Lever and Bert Whitehead 7 each.
Cloud Tramp: 1st equal: Mick Page and Luke Goymour, 10 points. 3rd Bert Whtehead 4.
(NB: As the only pre-arranged way of deciding a tie was to have a flyoff on the field, and because circumstanced made that impossible, we must ask Luke and Mick to share the trophy. We should discuss a better method at the "FF Conference" this Winter.)
HLG: 1st Luke Goymour 16 (wow!) 2nd Peter Gibbons 10, 3rd Chris Grant 9.
The Victor Ludorum Trophy is calculated by counting the number of competitors beaten in the final (complete) results list. Is has been checked and approved by the protagonists: First Luke Goymour 18, Second Bert Whitehead 14
