iFlyPPG

Oh yeah, the lambourne one. I forgot about that one.... Not before my time, I've been flying paramotors since 2006, I just didn't go. Can't you remember the conversations we had about fly-ins when I was on the pmc holiday in October 2011 and I was talking about doing a fly-in the following spring..??

I doubt the PMC summer fly-ins have been happening for 8 years Simon..?? I did the Sticky Grape fly-in April 2012. This was the first fly-in to have a communal fire pit, amplified music, a burger van, wristbands, a free gift for pilots at registration, airmaps for pilots, the list goes on, sound familiar.? it was only after this fly-in the PMC started doing them.... I have explained why the date clash happened on the Facebook UK paramotor group. It was down to the farmer only having these dates available that fitted in with the other events he was committed to on the same land and the hay crop needs to come off the large field that we use for flying from so it couldn't be any earlier. There was no malice and it was not on purpose. It was an innocent over-sight and I did not want to make people choose between the two... A shame you can't see your way to adjust by a week or two either side of these dates just for this year. I will find new dates for the future and you can have the 2nd weekend in July forever now I am aware of it. The dates were released on Oct 1 but you never mentioned anything about the date clash until we were well into November...!!! I have already booked and paid deposits for the stage, sound, lights and over 30 portaloos. The headline acts are booked and lots of the festival infra-structure is booked and deposits have been paid. I cannot move it now or I lose all the deposit money and possibly the headline acts as the UK festival circuit is very busy and stuff gets booked up very quickly. It would be very easy and no effort for you to change the PMC summer fly-in dates just for this year as a one off. I have offered you a free pitch at Parafest by way of an apology. The PMC can promote itself and you can have your own private party within Parafest. Maybe this year, just for once, we could merge and the pilots could have the best of both worlds...??
