My Alarm clock started beeping at 3.00am Friday the 23^rd October 2009 and I remember thinking I hate whoever it was that talked me into going to this German F5D event!

I had moved on to hating the World by the time Mark turned up at 3.30 am, but by 6.30am when we picked up Olli and Paul at Dover and I had moved towards thinking we all must be barking mad?

It’s been a long flying season with 9 events planned for 2009; unfortunately due to the good old British weather 2 have been cancelled so far leaving 4^th of October 09 the date for the final and 7^th event of the year. With 2009 being the team selection year for the UK F5D team to compete in the World Champs during 2010 it has been quite a year for UK F5D with records being broken as well as models in an effort to make the team.

The first 2 team places are already secured however 3^rd is still up for grabs as Olli Witt failed to close the door at the last event on Ben Jones who is very much on Olli’s heals and improving at each event making this more than just another League event.

If you are interested in virtually live updates and news from the UK F5D League, set up a Twitter account and subscribe to F5D or follow the posts on here using our Twitter page (link in Resources menu).

During Event weekends you will receive updates on times, positions and a few pictures from league events as they happen. This is serving as a practice leading up to the Grand event next August when we will be Tweeting from the USA During the World Champs.
