HGFC your enthusuiasm for this event cannot be denied however if you check here http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?ca...24&pagetype=69 you will see that if poor old BRL makes all Safety Evenings "stickies" then there would be no room for any other threads!

Dave W, sorry about that. I hope this http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.sr...0500&ay=290500 will be of help to you. It's about one mile away from EGBO - Wolverhampton Airport.

I used to make a habit of attending one every 18 months or so, but I confess I can't see myself going to one this year. If GASCo or PFA was orgainsing something locally however, I'd certainly go to that.

The one I went to was obviously aimed at very low currency pilots, full of really patronising stuff.
Mention "GPS" and you get hissing not only from the presenter (unsuprising; he looks like an ex RAF navigator) but also from much of the audience. I think a lot of them follow him around from venue to venue, getting their logbooks stamped at each one to show they have been good boys and paying attention to SAFETY.
Sorry to be negative but IMV it's a huge missed opportunity.

Most interesting one I attended several years ago was when the CAA chief medical officer stood up to give a presentation & a PPL in the front row had a fit. Surrender licence, do not pass go, oh & while You're at it we'd better have Your driving licence too

Good one tonight at Lasham. Glider pilots heckle nowhere near as much as power pilots.........
A great improvement over the last one I went to in March 04. I thought that the airspace and ATS presentation was particularly effective. Don't forget to take your logbooks for an attendance endorsement.
