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!?

Enstone would be a lovely venue. Sat/Sun would be preferable

thing 27th February 2015 14:55

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.

Enstone would be a lovely venue.
Well I can certainly recommend the local pub! Mind you the pub at Croft Farm/Defford is good as well.

Haven't been to a "fly in" before.. so would be interesting to see "what happens" at one of these events..

May be able to slot it in my diary (depending when it is).

Based: EGSG.

Can we have it at EGSR :\

Mainly people go 'Ha, you're not how I imagined you at all.' :)

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

Above The Clouds 27th February 2015 17:21

Draw straight lines between members bases crossing in the middle of the map then draw a 25nm radius from that point and pick a suitable airfield ?

thing 27th February 2015 17:58

Sort of doing that at the mo. Mind you some folk are a bit shy about where they actually fly from which is fair enough.

piperboy84 27th February 2015 18:06

Royston Vasey? good "local" facilities.

thing 27th February 2015 18:14

Tatenhill is the closest to Royston...:)

Hen Ddraig 28th February 2015 02:20

I would be interested if the date is right, when in the UK I'm Chester based, but I am away until the end of May

Time to spare, go by air

Rochester - EGTO. Saturday/Sunday -Sunday Best!

Simon T 1st March 2015 17:55

I would like to come date and weather permitting. Flying in from Bourne Park

Simon

thing 1st March 2015 18:18

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.

Rod1 1st March 2015 18:25

I will be doing my permit first two weeks of April so later would be good for me:O

Rod1

thing 1st March 2015 18:27

OK Rod, we'll go for 19th with 26th as a back up.
