2008 Bubblegum Helilift friday 18th of july .

Hi Guys,

Firstly apologies for not updating you sooner. The 2008 Bubblegum Helilift will change format this year. We will be operating at Durrow Castle giving the childeren a trip around the local area. This will insure all 180 kids get a spin in a heli. The bubblegum club will insure the children arrive from the hospitals to Durrow castle. Nurses will escort the children while on the aircraft as normal, and NO -they will not be wearing their uniforms!Ground opps will be hopefully the aircore. John Mc will give a briefing on the morning.The reason for discontiuning the collection of the kids from the hospitals is purly the weather. We can insure all children receive a trip in the heli by turning operations on and off through the day if the weather is up for question by providing the trip on site.

We hope Irelands helicopter owners and pilots will attend once again supporting this great day out laid on by the Bubblegum Club .
I will give you more updates soon.Please pm me if you can attend.

Thanks again.

I will be there and I am sure alot of pilots will be too, the only problem is if we have any helicopters left to fly.

Heli lift 08

Guys
The day went great with all kids getting a spin around Castle Durrow.You know what we do every year so rather than show you photo,s .Please have a look at Bubblegum Club - Index and click on ( the bubblegum effect.One brave young girls trip to London ) I think you will understand more clearly why Irelands Helicopter owners and pilots step forward every year to be part of a special days events layed on by the bubble gum club .
