More info....
OK, Airfield booked for the 2 days (I'm working on the weather)...Club Members now stood up to help.
BRL is working on the list of who is coming on what day, which will be published ASAP.
If you have had previous experience - then still come along... If you just want to watch and talk/banter, then please come along.
Important bit.... would those of you who wish to fly into Upavon please PM or e-mail me as soon as possible so that I can notify the DAIS by FAX. ac reg, P1 and point of departure please. Airfield will be open to visiting ac from 0930hrs (local).
Sailplane and Gliding magazine are also hoping to cover the event.
Anyone travelling by car who needs directions let me know! I've had an offer by one of the club members to put on a BBQ at lunch time. Who's interested???
More to follow... Nimbus

Ok, many many thanks Nimbus for sorting all this out, very much appreciated. 
Here is a list for those who have indicated earlier on this thread when they can come. I did have all but two for day one, so have split the names up a bit to cover both days. If you can't make it or want to change you day or anything else, please let me or Nimbus know as soon as you can.
Nimbus will be sorting out those of you who want to fly in-please get in touch with him for more details about this as soon as you can.
Anyone can attend for the two days, non-flyers will be more than welcome and don't forget there is a BBQ too!!
I hope to be there for both days, flying on the Monday and helping out on the Tuesday so come down and say hello if you want.
Anyhow, here is the list..........
Monday 22 May.
Tuesday 23 May.
As you can see there is room for more if you want to come and fly on the day, just let us now if you want me to add you names to the list.
See you all there!

Great stuff BRL and Nimbus, thanks for arranging this.
I'm up for a BBQ for lunch and / or dinner - do we need to bring vittles (or just cash)
Can you let us know if we need to pay anything up front, and I would appreciate directions by road.
I will be driving from SW London if anyone wants a ride - just PM me.
I'll start praying for good weather!

Anyone want a lift from oop Norf?
Many thanks Nimbus and BRL for organising what we hope will be a great couple of days. I will certainly be there on the Tuesday. As I am still uncertain whether the annual on the aeroplane will be finished by then, I think I had better commit to drive. Probably be quicker anyway.
I look forward to meeting everyone there.

Hi All
Thanks again to Nimbus / BRL for organising. Unfortunataly my lift from Cranfield had to drop out so I am after a lift down again
Anyone going past Northamptonshire fancy picking me up from a local airfield (Sywell?) or anyone setting off within an hour or so of Northampton want some company and cost share?
Very happy to cost share, pay landing fees, buy lunch, etc.
Cheers
Kev

If the uptake on a provided BBQ looks good, then we'll put one on..... If it doesn't then, if you bring your own food, we have the facilities for you to burn your own meat!!
So those of you coming.... do you want us to provide, or do you want to bring your own?

A burger and / or a sausage or two in a roll would be gratefully received and happy to pay a few quid for them. Better than us all bringing bits IMHO?
