I'll let this run for till next Friday then I'll put up some suggestions based on a roughly central spot. We'll have a vote on location and date. I take it Sat or Sun would suit most people?

I can't speak for us all from North of Hadrians Wall, but I would consider anywhere within 1.5 to 2 hours from my base at PIK, which probably means north of Manchester, in the west or Yorkshire in the east. Would be nice to put some faces to names - I think!?

As always with these things Jaycee you have to try and keep everyone happy. If the majority of folks are coming from the south or south west then it will have to be somewhere with 'weighting' towards that area. I'm happy to go anywhere really being as I'm pretty much on the line between the northern and southern half mil (all three of the airfields I fly from are on both maps).
Could also have a 'northern' fly in as well, plenty of us lurking around in Yorkshire and that sort of area.

I'd like to get a pub into this one somewhere rather than the airfield caffs we've used before.

Everyone welcome Simon. I'm looking at the last three Sundays in April; 12th. 19th and 26th. If we go for the 12th we could have the other two as weather alts. Would that be suitable for everyone?
Venues so far (we'll have a vote for it on Friday) are looking like Wellesbourne Mountford/Kemble/Cranfield. Looking into the logistics of it pubs will want deposits and stuff if we are going to book a table for 6 to 12 people which of course will be weather dependent, so although I would much prefer a pub I think that all in all we would be better off at an airfield with a greasy spoon. Haven't done Cranfield but I'm told it's a decent enough caff. Wellesbourne and Kemble I've done and they are both OK.
