SWEFTA League 1 for the 2012 season at Buckley Wood was an enjoyable competition.

There was a very tricky wind present all day which resulted in some amount bemusement for all competitors.

The introduction of chrono testing went well with some discussion on the subject. Top score of the day went to Ken Manley with 33 ex 40.

Thanks to the Buckley Wood Crew for a testing course & excellent organisation, providing a Chief Marshal, extra Marshal & Chrono Marshal all day. Everything ran smoothly except for a few stoppages for faulty targets, which turned out to be splitters not faulty targets. Thanks also to the Roz & Anne who provided hot food & drinks all day.
