Also got one approved today pretty quickly for next week (website said they wanted 7 days notice but they replied pretty quick) hopefully weather holds out. Although he did have a slight grumble that it involves 3 hours worth of paperwork!
The scoreboard is looking great guys and I have a feeling there are some pilots holding back with there entries to post at a later date…. still all to play for and going to be an exciting few weeks ahead

Thanks Sam, the leaderboard will be updated sometime after the Archers finish
Can we remind all competitors that , although we really appreciate well-composed videos and photos, your primary task is to show the subjects that have been requested.
So, if it’s a picture of an isolated church please don’t crop it so we can’t determine that fact without having to fire up Google Earth. Similarly if we ask for 12 arches of a viaduct please make it obvious there are at least twelve.
