Results – Bentley, Essex. 04/10/26

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer autumnal day for the last championship round of BFCC casting, it was very much T-shirt weather as the thermometer hit 20 degrees C and it was dry all day. The distance casters were probably hoping for more wind however I’m sure the instructors appreciated the calm conditions. As always the following results are in feet and inches:
