It might be tricky me coming to a bash as I'm under 18, but I'd love to meet with some of you guys (and gals!) some day.
BUT on the 28th I'm flying to Midden Zeeland (Netherlands!) anyway

No problem with coming to bashes TKF. The reason you'd have problems with the GatBash is because of the hotel, not because of us! So stop making excuses, and get your butt to a bash!

Well, if the quality of my x-wind landings yesterday were anything to go by, I'm very much an unprofessional pilot. :o
Count me in!

Foggy You will be more than welcome...!!!!!!!! 
Anyone can come really, but i would really like it to be more of a bash just for this forum. (As your a regular contributor, your in.!!) This is a cracking forum here with a real sense of, how can i put this,.....togetherness, close knit kind of thing and I reckon it would be great to get you all together.
Problem turning it into a open-for-all bash is that too many turn up and you invariably miss out on chatting to someone you wanted to see if you get what i mean. (Always happens at the gatbash, go back through the list of who went and see lots of people you didn't get around to meeting.) So, hopefully we will have a good little crowd out who know each other quite well beforehand anyway. See you there....

Excellent Ev, maybe we can have some sort of 'ceremony' for all of you 'new' ppls out there who have done so well recently.!!!
I will stick it now, not sure how long for as something else is in the pipeline for a sticky, long story but i don't want more than 2 stickys on the forum.
So does anyone have any ideas for what to 'award' our new pilots with? Maybe we can also have something for first solo's too. Any ideas?

Sounds like an expensive proposition, BRL. Where does it end? What about an award for getting an IMC? Night Rating? Differences training on tailwheel? First aeros competition? etc etc
I'm not trying to put a damper on the suggestion. Going solo and finally getting your PPL are each wonderful achievements, but so are each of the others noted above. Not better achievements, but different and if we recognise some but not others.............

Undertheweather. Its not the oscars.! No black ties, huge awards etc.. Also, its not expensive to do at all. There are some smallish plastic aeroplanes in a shop in town and they are only 50p each. I don't mind putting up a tenner to buy a few to hand out on the day for a bit of fun.
If you can get all the people who have recently passed all of what you have mentioned IMC, Night Rating. Differences training on tailwheel. First aeros competition? etc etc then we would have some party/day out.!!!!
When i say ceremony, I mean whoever has acheived something recently that turns up, gets handed a 'plane' and depending how drunk people are, lots of applause, wild cheering, hat throwing etc......
Its all intended with a tongue-in-cheek point to it nothing serious at all, far from it, just a way of having a bit of fun on the day.
