Private Pilots Flying Forum XMAS BASH.
 
Its time to sort out the Great Private Pilots Forum XMAS BASH Any suggestions to when?
I suggest central London and the following dates...Sat 07th Dec or Sat 21st Dec

If your brave enough and game for a laugh, put your names down here please and any suggestions. (Lets try and make it a bar we are not barred from.) :eek:
Free maps will be available to help you get home ok.. ;) :p

P.S. There will be one in January for those who can't make it to the xmas one. :)

Why doesn't everyone just come to the Gatbash?

Speedbird252 19th October 2002 19:55

Why dont we do the GATBASH?
 
Cos we are underloved and we want to go and blow our own trumpets!

Big Red L, 7th Dec is a good one for me, lets get some numbers and pick a nice big bar in the middle of London. (How many are you barred from?)

Lets get all the dates from all the people and find a happy medium.

And EVO, you still owe me this beer. You could still be driving to Shoreham every weekend you know!

Regards all,

Speedbird Party Bloke.

21st Dec sounds good to me. I think we should all hire a big room in a hotel and have a great time and all get plastered, lol

iainpoll 20th October 2002 10:36

I'm in, either date fine with me:)

seat_of_my_pants 20th October 2002 11:43

Big Man,
Either date is fine by me. I'll be bringing a gum shield....

:D

After the last "do", I suggest that you ensure that all participents are issued with a compass, transponder & hand-held transceiver.

Then when they leave the venue, in a tired & emotional state, they can ask for radar vectors home :D

If really desperate, then they can put out a MayDay on 121.50. :eek:

Dec 7th and 21st are two dates we are planning on having a Fly-In at Old Warden. I realise 'fly-in' is incompatible with what you have in mind. . . :D :D :D . . . but accommdation is often available in the house. Not sure about the room/party type thing, you would need to ask.

Centrally located, just off the A1, and the Kings Cross mainline just a taxi ride away.

Judging just from the above, I don't think I can face (geddit?) all the stick I'd get if I went along...

On the other if, if I ever get to do my GFT, and have a shiny new set of gnashers :D fitted, then I might just come in disguise.

(Sorry if the above is nonsense - the jet-lag has kicked in.)

BRL,

I wouldn't want to be seen to be diverting interest from the GatBash;) , but I'm up for a few quiet drinks (and several noisy ones :D ), especially as I can't make the Gatbash cos I'm working 14th and 15th.

I don't really have a preference for either date.

Cheers

I like vintage ATCO's idea of meeting at Shuttleworth, especially 'cos its 20 minutes by car, from home!

So any one else likely to fly/drive there on Dec 7th or 21st? ;)

iainpoll 21st October 2002 07:06

Actually, just remembered, can't do 21st as going to the theatre that day:eek:

Personally think we should stick to drinks at a pub/bar in or around London.

Reaper/FFF, you gonna come?

On Track 21st October 2002 07:20

Hey why don't all you Poms fly down to sunny (drought-stricken) Oz for a sizzling summer Christmas bash?

That way I might actually be able to attend!

FlyingForFun 21st October 2002 08:34

Put me down as a "probable" for either date.

I'll definitely be there if I can - the last one was definitely something to be repeated! But with the GatBash at around the same date (and I'll definitely be there - I'm just holding out on booking my place as long as I can to try to give IFR a heart attack :D) I may have to back out of this one if my studying is getting behind schedule.

Probably can't do the 21st, and refuse to do the 7th. Don't ever want to meet any of you drunken, violent bums ever again.

The 7th it is then ;)

iainpoll 25th October 2002 08:40

Come on peeps, lets have a few more, this will be a blast!!!!:D :D

eveepee 25th October 2002 10:05

Come on girls - lets show the men how to drink:D

Don D Cake 25th October 2002 10:35

I'm on for joining you for a Creme de Menthe and Pineapple or two. Could do either date although the 7th is probably better as I'll be most likely panic shopping on the 21st.

Grim Reaper 14 25th October 2002 11:44

In the red corner, the men, loaded and ready for action.
In the green corner, the women, allowed out of the kitchen for the day.

Lets get ready to ruuuuuumble!!!!!!!!

The challenge has been laid down. Would you all please ensure that you have the following with you on the day in question:-

- GPS, programmed with home address;
- Phone number for emergency dental treatment;
- Boxing gloves;
- A watch that doesn't work;
- A damn good excuse for being late home, in case the broken watch story fails;
- An empty 'reason' container (I lost all reason at the last one);
- Copious beer tokens;
- The desire to take the pi55 out of anyone drinking inappropriately for their gender;;)
- A Dirty Vegas t-shirt;
- At least one abhorrently filthy joke;
- Proof that you fare dodged your way there (Hi BRL)

Anything else I've forgotten?
