Do you know having posted I'd have had £10 on me old mucker Shy T adding something 
I am finding it a tad lonely at the top, but if it's that quiet little candle lit bistro you have in mind again, and you're paying, count me in
Only request is you let me go on top this time

and I can't make Coventry due to work roster. So not fair.

I won't be able to commit to Coventry due to the vagaries of my work commitments. It's tough at the bottom rung of the ladder. "Ladder, what ladder?" I hear you shout..

Leeds
Hi guys,
I saw Leeds coming up as the next place for a Safety night. Please PM me, i work for the heli company up there and we are quite happy to host it. I will try to get approval from the owner of the Sim we have, "parked" at the moment in a dark corner......
We've done recently 2 Robbo Safety courses and i am quite keen on this one as well....
Let me know chaps

Leeds is in hand, at your place and with the sim (hopefully), I am going to speak to one of your guys who has offered to help me tomorrow about some other ideas.
I am trying to organise something that involves a bit more than a go in a sim, but it needs a couple of other people to do the hard bit, at a couple of other venues. I'll post more here when I've got approval for it.

Gary, can't make Coventry i'm afraid but would love to attend/help out at the Leeds meet, if it's worked around my roster. Any chance we could look at possible dates? Sorry to be a pain.
PS, if there's a sim, i'd love to see if I can fly on instruments too!

Thanks to Gary and Ian for all their hard work setting up tonight - was very informative.
Also thanks to Keith and Fred (The CAA Men!) for coming - its great to know that the authority aren't entirely faceless, and the knowledge imparted was much appreciated.
On that note - does anybody have a link to the Eurocopter Document about LTE that Fred referred to? I have had a quick search, but can't find it.
Gary: Excellent evening - your points on Met on the average PPLs Met skills I feel are very valid - would be invaluable to get someone from MetOffice for the next one.
Thanks again all who attended -was great to meet you all.

I've PMd you a link to the document Fred referred to. I can't find it publicly on the web, I'll speak to someone at Eurocopter today and see if they will let me post it on the helicopter safety site and pop a link on here.
Cheers
