Competition Information

Club competitions are open to all club members.

Note, some sites and XC comps require a minimum of Pilot rating.

Flights must be from a Cayley site, listed on the club’s website.

The only exception to this will be the coastal Mappleton run South of Hornsea.

Any tasks achieved need to be sent to the comps secretary using the form below within 4 weeks to qualify.  Any improved distances, heights etc. can be submitted.

Proof of flight or eligible task can be shown through the flight instruments.

Comps open from the 1st March until 10th November.

We are looking for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each comp.

There are prizes for the winners and these are awarded at the AGM in February 2026.

  • Longest single coastal flight. This could be an out and return or from take-off to landing.
  • Best height ASL from an inland site.
  • Furthest XC from an inland club site. Straight line distance from take-off to landing.
  • We are hoping to again have a club comp at Horcum again this year. The date for this will be weather dependant.
