Safety Evening
Phil,
Copied the Wycombe 'safety' evening ... if you'd like me to chat through my recent 'faux pas' at the Salt Lake City air show, I'd be happy to participate second to Shawn.

Dennis - as a speaker you're equal to Shawn any day! 
Glad to see you there and to hear your story. Once I know the proper date (depends on when Shawn finishes what he's doing) I'll book the Pad.

I am sorry it is taking a while to sort, primarily due to me and the new job, planning is progressing well for the 2nd round of evenings and their content.
I'll try and sort out a day today if that makes sense.

Safety Evening
Hallo Shawn,
Over here, we older generation pilots are known as COFs, but we can tell a yarn or two. (I know you can too but not suggesting you are a member of the aged clan just yet!) ... After your talk, I'd like to relate the sequence of events that led to my display accident in Utah. Then invite the newer pilots to stop me whenever they spotted an upcoming error. We then spend a minute or two discussing the point.
Look forward to meeting up again. The last time must have been the Redhill Helitech in 1998/99.
Take care all ppruners and hope to see many of you at the WAP evening.

Wycombe 'Safety' evening
Hi all ... (Phil/Gary et al)
Just to keep us on the front row of the grid, and offer a further topic ...
Having survived two T/R failures and as I now include a suggested handling procedure to my PPL training, I'd be happy to relate the 1986 Cranfield and the 1999 Biggin Hill incidents (both Enstrom 280 Sharks) to kick the subject off for general discussion at the next suitable meeting ... as decided by Phil and Gary.
See you all in May,
Dennis K

Any decision yet for venue/dates? I'm nipping over to UK this weekend for a month, and will be staying in Herts for that week. I may even let someone buy me a decent pint of bitter if I can find the wherewithall to listen to more COF's 
Brief update
The SW evening is dragging in somewhat, we had plans for around about now, which unfortunately were shelved due to the G-REDL crash.
Next week I hope to confirm a date around 12-13 May at Dunkeswell or somewhere close by.

Hi Gary,
My offer is still on the table for WAP or Dunkeswell if wanted.
Speak soon and it would be good to see John Eacott with us.

Dennis and/or Phil, how are things progressing for the 20th (ish) May at High Wycombe? I'm keen to come to that one but need to make arrangements.
Cheers

13th would be an awkward evening for me, I have to return the rental motorbike to Bournemouth that afternoon! Traipsing around on the bike for a fortnight before that, and then back to Herts.
I'd certainly look forward to catching up to put some faces to all the names
