Largest navy port in the UK closes pubs early. Um surely not! I think you will find all the night life you could hope for in the old town - the cathedral, lock-ins, houses with pretty coloured lights in the windows....

Tell that to Langtry's / The White Horse, whatever it is called... this one...

Does anyone know how many arenas there will be and how they will be configured

So no Flic or Crazys then ?

I would guess a single line arena and a main arena ? I wouldn't think we will get our own this year ?

[Sailor99]

That's what one would have thought Gary. But the agenda, unless it's changed, they have had for the event was talking about arenas (plural) in addition to the main one.

Uh, oh - multiple arenas? It's starting to sound like I'm going to need a map and compass!

Blimey.. 15 minute slots ... could be challenging for all teams / groups involved!

Ah well, we shall enjoy... see you guys down there!

I didn't look at the new agenda earlier as was on the iPoo. But you are right, that does look challenging. The original one had 20 minute slots and some gaps which would have allowed a bit of over-run if necessary.

Pleased to say I have personally never been in the langtree - sounds like an 'interesting' venue - hang on to your wallet! Certainly looks to me like one of the places that would have the 'pretty coloured lights'

Yep but we get three slots a day and those 15 minutes will certainly feel long if there is no wind! Who wants to volunteer to run 360's this year? I promise not to make you do it with the stacks.

But we are sharing the 15 mins with the Decs ? so only 7 1/2 mins ( hang on just looked again it's 2x 15 mins and 1 x 30 mins )

Maybe the 30 minute one could include the 16?

You do seem to have a bad case of the 16s who know we will wait n see

[Hezz]

It's not so much of a problem for us.. get in.. test the wind.. fly one routine.. get out.. 15 minutes over with :-)

But a Rok fight - only 15 minutes to organise, start, compete, finish & get everyone untangled and out of the arena?...

Big soft kites display - only 15 minutes to get them in, up, flying, down, and out of the arena...

Certain of the dual line displays usually go on longer than 15 minutes .. hmmm

Rather hopeful I feel!
