Good point...Cheltenham runs 11th - 14th, I believe, so I guess most people are going to be tied up all week.
Anything happening the following week? Or does the evening of the 10th work for anyone?

Helimutt and I are sat in a motorway service station near humberside putting together some material and venues.
Watch this space !!
We would like to have done about 6 of these by end of April.
Check the wbsite helimutt posted above for more details.
We've got support from the CAA, HCGB, BHAB and GASCo up to now.
The material I've been sent up to now is very good, and I am sifting through it daily and slowly.
We have a venue in the southwest at Dunkeswell, but theres nothing to stop a Cheltenham meet too.
We are trying to get pilots form all the flying schools across the country, as we are looking to grt the message out to people outside the PPrune world (few as they are). I've visited a few already and we have some interest from them aswel.

March 4th would suit me like a treat I will be down south anyway and on the 3rd on London to support Ian therefore the 4th in Wycombe could be good.
170' that went all a tad over my head.

Can you add a mailing list to that site so we can sign up for email updates? I know it might not be that trivial, but it would be good for all.
Anywhere in the South West for me, or anywhere in the South really. I'm keen to take part. But I'm abroad until April, then doing my IR at Bond. So Cheltenham would be good in April/May!

Please check out the site.
I'm hoping the mods will let this stand as this is all being done on a free basis, with briefing rooms (hopefully) being provided free for the meetings, beer paid for out of your own pocket and all done on a voluntary basis.

The site is a great idea; I'm sure it will develop into an excellent asset for all of us. My thanks to all those involved. I would like to cast a vote for a meeting somewhere in the north-west. Maybe Blackpool is the obvious location for this?
Ok, first meeting pencilled in for 6th March at Newcastle (EGNT). Hour or so in the briefing room at Flying school (many thanks to Neil) and then to the Wheatsheaf pub nearby. Handy for Metro/Road links etc.
Anyone interested please let us know.
Thanks.

South East
Can I put my name down for a South East meet -- ideally London but DennisK's Surrey/Sussex/Kent also works well.
Of course if VeeAny wants to give me a lift to the South West in his shiny machine then I think I'd have to take a day off from the day job

Helimutt advises that the Newcastle evening will be Thursday 6th March 2008.
He would post this himself but I believe he will be unconscious until Sunday

Seems we have Neil to thank for the use of the facility.
I'll probably be there work permitting, can we have a show of hands as to who will be coming along.
Next will probably be Redhill or Dunkeswell at some point in late March / early April.

Not true!!! I am just waiting for the right moment for killing the noisy cockerel who lives over the back from me. Kept me up most of the night! Ok, How many going to Newcastle? 6 people so far that I know of.
