[redsnail]

And I bet all the lecturers are just sooooo happy I won't be in the audience heckling :D

[scroggs]

I trust you'll be there for the bash, Reddo?

[redsnail]

Scroggs,
Just try and stop me. It's a few days before I am scheduled to fly home for Christmas :D

[InFinRetirement]

Don't worry Reddo got just the job for you - Mother Christmas. Can't get any reindeer but I did get a couple of escaped Afghans from Battersea Dogs home :cool:

Well I was told they came from there! :eek:

[Sensible]

Too late IFR I just heard that the Irish SAS just carried outr a raid at Battersea dogs home and shot all the Afghans in retaliation for the WTC atrocity!!

[redsnail]

Ah.. I was hoping to be minding the bar :p

[G SXTY]

Erm, what sort of presents will Mother Christmas be handing out? :)

[InFinRetirement]

Bringing this back to allow people to get their bearings. Best be there for 0830 so you can see which of the two lists you are on, and of course, to check-in.

[Wee Weasley Welshman]

Crikey IFR! Is that 08.30z we are kicking off at?

Blimey. WWW

[InFinRetirement]

No WWW - 0930. Just want to get the checkin done in time. It also allows for stragglers.

[Funkie]

Hi All,

IFR, Eventually, you managed to get the lot, well done.

Question for all, who will be flying/traveling to the bash from EDI. As I'm a local, we could meet up before hand at the airport…….

Also, if any folks are looking to stay over the night before the trip, my mother owns a hotel and we can offer a wee bit discount for anyone wishing to stay, just send me an e-mail ([email protected]) not a plug, honest!!

See you all there.

Regards

Fra
:D

[charles_auty]

Just a quick message asking if I'm on the list - It says Charley Boy, not Charlie Boy! Can you e-mail me IFR and let me know! Thanks,

Charlie Boy

[InFinRetirement]

Map and other details above. Please note. I had an e-mail yesterday asking everything that has been posted time and again. PPRuNe search is working now!

:rolleyes:

[InFinRetirement]

Another place has become available at the seminars.

If there is anyone interested please let me know by e-mail asap. The cost will be £20.

[tom775257]

Does anyone need a lift down there from the midlands/ specifically Birmingham area?? I will be returning to brum after the seminar has finished... not staying for the evening.
Tom.

[InFinRetirement]

Time to put this back to the top with a revised list.

[BIG BLACK RAT]

- Back to the top -

Any updates on the arrangements for the big day in Horley ?

:)

[November Whiskey]

b.t.t.t.

IFR,

Any news for us on Saturday's itinery?

Cheers!

N.W. :D

[aidybennett]

Sorry, not quite sure what this is about. I assumed it refered to last months Flyer Career sennimar, to which I went. Whats this 15 Dec Gatbash? And Does Capt.Biggles refer to me? Please inlighten. :confused:

The Gatbash is an twice annual do for all PPRuNers (read PPRuNe Bashes forum). Also read the Wannabes forum to see what the seminars ar about. No! Capt Biggles is not YOU! Where have you been???? You can get unconfused if you lurk around the other forums. :rolleyes:

Fair enough!

For everyone. The 50 will be split into two groups of 25. The subjects covered will be as follows.

Specifically, ATC, ATPL/CPL, Wannabes, Military, CV's.

There will also be one or two small chats at the end of the seminars. I will be doing a short one on airlines - "then now and the future".

It all kicks off at 10 a.m. there will be two sessions in the morning and two in the afternoon, in between each session will be a coffee break and, of course, a break for lunch.

So. 1000-1230 - LUNCH - 1345 - 1545 and 1545 to 1645.

Please arrive by 0930, but the check-in desk will be open at 0830 with coffee available.

Lecturers include: Danny, Rob Lloyd, Hamrah, WWW, Redsnail, CrashDive, PPRune Radar, StopStart, Scroggs, Sick Squid and IFR.

Have a good time, you have the best people around to help you.

IFR,
Can you e-mail me asap.

Cheers

[G SXTY]

Reddo lecturing on Saturday? I love the irony!

Promise to be on my best behaviour . . . :D

[redsnail]

Yeah G-SXTY, it was the only way to shut me up and keep me out of the bar for a few hours. :D
You had better listen up 'cos I ask questions :D

[G SXTY]

Ah, I can see it now. Callsign Charlie, with a PhD in astrophysics. You do not salute her, but you’d better listen to her because the Government listens to her about your proficiency . . . :) :)

What’s your subject by the way? (just so I can read up & not get all embarrassed when I’m singled out). :p

[FL390]

Wahoo!!! Only 3 more days of school!!!! :D :cool: :D :cool: And then, PPRuNe Seminar!!!!

Can't wait. ;) ;)

[InFinRetirement]

And G SXTY! I will not tolerate her being given a bad time. I can do that all on my own! :D

[calypso]

Hello there, I am one of the lucky 50 and will come regardless. I have one question though, is this more geared to people considering wether to join the fray or those of us with mud up to our eyeballs looking for that first job?

Cal

[G SXTY]

All are welcome Calypso. Last time around, it ranged from people who had never even had a trial flight to 4000+hr pilots.

The variety helps get the debate going, and its useful for low or zero hour wannabes to hear what people further down the line are thinking.

Besides which, it would be extremely boring if everyone was the same - you certainly wouldn't want to be surrounded by 50 G-SXTYs! :) :)

[scroggs]

Calypso,
the seminar is aimed at anyone with a genuine desire to become a professional pilot, whether civil or military. Of necessity, it must cover subjects which may not be strictly relevent to some attendees, but will apply to others. We hope that, nevertheless, all the lectures (more like discussions) will be interesting and useful to the majority of you. And we get to continue in the bar afterwards (18 and over only.....!).
IFR, I'm sorry, but you're not getting Reddo-baiting all to yourself. I wanna go!

[InFinRetirement]

Ok scroggs, we are six or seven down - they have dropped out for one reason or another. So you can sit in on HER lecture. :D She'll kill me now :eek:

[FL390]

Wahey! School has finished! :p :cool: :D

Can't wait for the seminar!! No lie in though! ;)

Is there a dress code?

[FL390]

I as just finalising the detail of how I am going to get there, and I really think that you couldn't have picked a more remote spot!! :D :D

hehe, well, only joking! I'm sure I will get there.....eventually!

[tom775257]

Well....
It's 00:43, just finished my friend's 21st. I am so looking forward to getting up at 5:30am.... :eek:
See you all tomorrow.
tom.

Thank you to all thoses that made today as fun and as informative as it was. And also to those of you that work almost unseen in the background to keep pprune running.

[Scratch One Bandit]

I'm just back from what has been a great day. Nice to meet the mods and fellow ppruners. It's just a shame I couldn't stay for the bash. Maybe next time? You betcha! :D My thanks to the mods.
