My vote goes to Sandown or Goodwood but I could be persuaded to do Sywell - decisive I know.
Additionally, we should have two weekends in mind given the vagaries of the weather, so how about September 21st, 22nd, 28th or the 29th?
When we have a reasonable response maybe we should put the venue and the date to a vote/poll so it is reasonably democratic!
Either way, I'll be there.

I've already said September is no good for me. If everyone can make October I should be able to come though.
The problem with having a fly-in in the South is that for anyone up here it's expensive. Can't we find somewhere a bit more central? (like Sywell
)

Can we have somewhere with a hard runway please? AA5's are not brilliant grass machines especially on wet UK grass.
Other than that I'm up for it as long as it is late September and I can lift two peeps from Biggin Hill who will be treated to my crummy visual appraoches (only kidding - or am I)
cheers!

I'll be in Russia 13th-22nd September, but after that is good for me. Sywell is good for me, and we've had one in the South already, so somewhere fairly central is a good idea. If I'm going I may have a spare seat in an R22.

How about Bidford Airfield, Bidford on Avon.
Very friendly airfield with good food and a bar with some accomodation on site and B&B near by. Could turn this in to a Bash, if people wanted to make a weekend of it.

I'll second Weston, since it's no longer certain that it'll be there next year 
Though given my status as SPL wannabe, it'll be a drive-in for me

Hi All
I'd be interested in joining you guys if all are welcome. How about Blackpool, Isle of Man, or Kirkbride. If you want to venture a bit further, Campbeltown is a great place too (if you can afford the fuel to taxi down the runway!! - it's about the same length as LHR).

Providing I can book that shiny (not quite so) new 172 again, I'll be up for this.
Sywell & Wellesbourne sound like good suggestions - would be happy with anywhere within approx 1hr of EGTB (so Goodwood, Shoreham, Compton etc would all be fine if somewhere more Southerly was preffered by the majority).
Cheers
