Yes, this year's National Championships (Power) are definitely on.

Yesterday (21st April) at the Nationals Planning Meeting, in Leicester, BMFA Technical Secretary and Nationals Co-ordinator, Chris Bromley told the meeting that the RAF have now confirmed the availability of Barkston Heath.

The Nationals will therefore go ahead on its traditional dates, during the August Bank Holiday. (Sat 24th to Monday 26th August 2002).

The BMFA will now be going all out to organise this massive event. Traders, who have been regularly calling the BMFA offices in Leicester, will now be able to firm up their bookings.

Regular visitors to the Nationals will however notice a few changes to Barkston Heath, not least the demolition of the portacabin Administration block, that was sited at the end of the trade show area.

So, it'll be all hands to the pump for the BMFA, traders and competition organisers, but the important news is that the 'Nats' are once again ON!
