GVFWE - Important please read
In view of the rain we have had we are re-assessing the thresholds for the grass runways. We'll put the results here shortly. Please watch this space.
As always, please listen to the ATIS carefully, it will contain the lastest info.

The runway 25 grass threshold is now beyond the intersection with the hard 13/31. The cut grass east of this intersection is unsuitable for landing and will be marked with cones.
After landing 25 hard or grass roll to the end of the runway before vacating left, do not turn off either runway early.
Despite the front of the joining instructions giving a 'callsign/reporting number' please use your last two reg letters, colour and type in accordance with the instructions on page 4, and the ATIS.

Yes but Mike almost nobody reads AICs and the notam won't come up unless one's Narrow Route Briefing route intercepts the Q circle. That's why posting the name of the place would have been a good idea, wouldn't you agree?
Of course it's possible that I am the only person here who doesn't go down the local pub with everybody else on here
This appears unlikely; that level of intimacy is much more the province of the flyer.co.uk forum

Why not come along (unfortunately only by road)? You'd be most welcome (I think there may be an entrance fee) and possibly even get so smitten that next year you'll arrive in something ... well ... without an IO540!

Not venturing far....
Au contraire!
The lovely Nicky and I are planning to fly from Old Warden to Barkaby Stockholm for the EAA Fly-in June 3/4, some 800 miles.
Heres our route -
Old Warden EGTH - DVR - Calais LFAC - Ooostende EBOS - Midden Zeeland EHMZ - Hilversum EHHV - Hoogeveen EHHO - JEV - St Michaelisdonn EDXM - Kiel EDHK - KOR - Angelholm ESDB - OF - Eksjo ESMC - OL - Norrkoping-Bravalla ESCK - Stockholm Barkaby ESKB.
Our Miles Falcon G-AEEG is 70 years old this year/ 70 years since it was exported to Sweden as SE-AFN. It served throughout the war as a 'light transport' in the Swedish Air Force.
An important part of Swedens aviation history I felt compelled to make the trip 4 years ago and had such a great time I felt we needed to mark its 70th.
Winner of the 79 Kings Cup (at 139mph - not bad?!) it holds the unique record of the oldest aircraft ever to have won it.
It came back to the UK in 1961 ( changing hands for ten quid!). The logs show plenty of european trips since.
Cruising at a sedate 115mph it will fly for a bladder busting 4 1/2 hrs, transporting us in armchair comfort too.
It wasnt many years ago that Torquil Norman ( please flog me your lovely Dragonfly..) flew his Leapord Moth to Oskosh(?) via the Northern route.
So, I think the 'not venturing far from backyards' comment is an uninformed one, as i'm sure other posters will verify.
Fingers crossed for the weather!
Hairy

Just to continue the thread drift, I concur with Hairyplane...my 65-year old rag & tube steed shall be transporting me +1 to the northern wastes of Norway this year...as it has before to Nordcapp, the Algarve, eastern Europe and all points between in years past.
All at 3 gph.

Yes, the Eggesford Austers were planning to descend en masse, as also the ambulance cub. I'm not sure if the Broussard was planned to go.
They are usually pretty intrepid, but I don't know how they got on. I was due to go and had a number etc, but have ended up out of the country this weekend in warmer climes. No great shame!

Can anyone tell me roughly how many aircraft are present? I am trying to convince Mrs Aeronut that it won't just be a rainy day traipse round a muddy field!

Of course it won't. It might be a traipse though! 
The weather forecast is much better for tomorrow. Please do come along! We've had some cards made up especially for the tower - look over for your landing score.
All from the Jersey Air Rally are invited too... PPR essential of course.

Great shame about today. Five hour drive to get there, five hour drive back. Two aircraft attending. Terry and the team do a great job but the weather is always there waiting to through in a curved ball. More than half of Membury mast hidden when I passed it at 7.30 am. The good news is that it is set to improve Sunday. Sadly Chipmunk on annual.
Saw Aerbabe looking efficient.

Aerbabe, approx how much grass is left on 25 with the threshold displaced beyond 31/13? From the JI diagram I estimate about 400m ......
Slip
WR ... see you there on Sunday? And hopefully the Kernow flight .....
