11th, or 12th? I'm tied up all day on the 11th, though possibly free in the evening. The 12th might be OK. More details please?

the fly-in = saturday the 11th, with the "pprune bash" on the evening of the 11th. "Fly-out" on the 12th, but if you want we could have a bit of a scocial on the morning/afternoon of the fly-out - this would also be an alternatvie for people who couldn't attend the scocial on the 11th.

Hope to be able to make it, but it depends on a few things.

Must get my cross water checkout first, and can't book a/c yet. So won't be able to confirm until nearer the date, but I'm confident that I'll make it

I'm up for that - driving in rather than flying though. Any ideas for accomodation. I'm happy to camp if possible, as long as it's a short stagger from the pub.

Sounds good. I will be driving up to Liverpool to pick a few things up then so if anyone is flying-in from Liverpool/Hawarden I wouldn't mind a lift.

BRL,

If you don't find anyone direct I will happily pick you up on the way through from Blackpool. As is, I will also have a spare seat from BPL if anyone wants a lift.

LF Thats very kind of you sir. I didn't make it to Compton for the last one. Lets keep our fingers crossed the good weather holds on a bit longer....

We can sort something out nearer the time.

Hey Welshflyer,

We've been talking about meeting for a while now, and as soon as we get dates I move away!

I'll be in Leeds uni on all of those dates, so it wont be close to home which means I cant come - Sorry mate, maybe next summer when I'm home

Have fun everyone

Keygrip,

Perhaps this needs a sticky until 13 Oct?

I'll phone the Welsh tourist board later, and get a list of reasonably priced-accomodation in the Caernarfon Airport area.

I know of a couple of reasonable b & bs' I'll give the WTB a bell and see if there are any more.

WF.

I have put it in my Diary, I pop in there a lot anyway and as long as the weather is OK I will be there.

Come and say helo, I am the one in the dark blue Enstrom.

Whirly - hopefully you will have time for a go in it this time

Welsh Flyer - Are you doing a deal on landing fees

Rotorboater,

I can't make the Saturday, but will hopefully either drive over Saturday night, or drive/fly over Sunday morning. If you're still there I'd love a go in the Enstrom!

Landing fees.....I'm having a word with Mr.Steptoe tomorrow, also going out on a jolly. I'll have a talk to him and see what I can do.

You woludn't happen to be offering rides in the Enstrom? I'd love to fly with you, never flown in a 'helo. (I'd pay of course)

WF.

I am happy to take any of the PPuners up for a spin around the lovely countryside of Caernarfon, as long as I don't have to pay a landing fee each time!

There is a warning though, once you fly a helicopter, your plank will just feel like a plank!

See you all there, RB
