Tues 11th March in High Wycombe would be grand for me; it's the day after my exams so could probably do with a nice cup of tea!
Cheers

Tues 11th at Wycombe? 1900 in the Pad? I have a couple of guys in a course who will want to attend - they're a captive audience!

There has been a tremendous response on here, elsewere and to the website.
Looks like different people want different things out of these evenings.
Just so there is no confusion not all of these nights will follow the suggested format on the www.helicoptersafety.org site.
The Newcastle one will almost certainly be quite informal, as Helimutt who is putting it together first suggested. I am going along to lend him some moral support and take the draft version of the safety powerpoint thingy I am working on if he wants to use it as
Phils @ Wycombe next week will probably be driven by what people want to talk about on the night (according to a 3 minute conversation we just had), I might get there, depends on work. It will be in the bar at the Pad.
I am definitely going to do two evenings, one at Redhill, one at Dunkeswell. These will start off with the powerpoint thingy but only as an aid to the general discussion and end up in the bar later. Almost certainly late March to Early April.
Not all of these evenings will be the same, some will have a few attendees, it looks likes some will have 30 odd.
If any CFIs want to hold a safety evening and need something to talk about, they are welcome to use my presentation (after its been tried and tweaked a few times).
Tell us what you want to talk about, what you want to see either on here or at [email protected] as my PM box keeps filling up.

I've been looking for a good midlands location sort of Coventry / Halfpenny Green.
Trying to stay away from helicopter flying school premises, so there is no political affiliation , an open to all kind of policy. However trying to be close to or equidistant from helicopter flying schools in an area.
You got any suggestions ?

One suggestion has been going in and out of busy airspace. I know many people find this confusing when they don't do it a lot.
The date was decided by a flip of a coin in the end, aided by my own commitments.

South west venue
Looks like this idea is really taking off (pun un-intended!). Been looking through the thread and mentioned website, but being a bit of a muppet 
can't find a date for Dunkeswell - Doh!
Anyway, I'm up for a meeting there, duties and her indoors permitting!!
Does ANYBODY know how to fly this thing?
