Cardington report.
Sunday the 4th May 2008 saw this years’ first serious return to Cardington No.1 shed, sadly only a dozen or so people turned up, but what a day they had. Britain’s best were there gaining some much needed high ceiling practice before the World Champs in Belgrade in August. The rest being GC protagonists pushing their ambitions to fantastic heights!
The Cardington venue is tenuously secure until mid summer and a careful vigilance of these pages will keep all informed of any last minute cancellations or extended usage. All BMFA and SAA members are welcome but must obey site rules.

Would you like to almost double your Gymminie Cricket times?
Well, with 90′ in workable height and almost unlimitable floor space the chance to fly in this most historic building until at least mid summer is there for the taking. As ITC results coordinator I can confirm that many people did indeed exceed their personal bests on Sunday, but do remember, that those fortunate enough to be able to attend Cardington are not guaranteed to win the challenge. The finals are to be held at Manchester Velodrome on October 18th, where the playing field will be levelled for all.
