Guest Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) If its flyable during the day I aim to be in the field at 10:30. Anyone needing to pick up kit from here to fly on this day please be here at 10:00. Today I used a grassed field of Sally Anns and it was Awesome! (I am going to ask her if we can use this field again) Wings are getting put away by 16:00hrs and the pub opens at 18:00hrs. At 18:00 hrs Myself, and all other Tip to Tip people (and anyone else who wants to get involved of course!) will be having a 1-hour meeting in the bar area of the pub. All other Xmas doo people are of course welcome to 'warm up' for an hour beofre the party begins, the meeting area may get all meeting like for a while though. At 19:00 hrs the function room will open for our Doo. At 19:30 hrs the food will start to arrive. At 20:00 hick.... the thingy.... hick...will be ..hick..hick........and party.....hick....happy....hick..hick At 0900 hrs the next morning we will all have sore heads.

TerryW Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Morning Simon, Is the field open to all members and if so could you give exact location. An O/S Grid Ref. would suffice or directions from the main road entrance to your house. May be see ya there today. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slim Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I snagged a line on the frozen stones on Tuesday morning so a field with grass sounds like heaven. Thank you, thank you. Now, time to repair that broken line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus1 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) Hey Guys Small plea- is it possible to limit the flights over the village please, especially at the weekends? It would save me getting my ear chewed every time I am in the Church, pub, shop, school etc ( get the picture?!) I know it is rather difficult given the location of the field with regards to the houses but I think they had their fair share in the summer and are rather sensitive. Thanks in advance for you consideration. Enjoy the site - sorry about the lines SLiM. (I broke a tooth on a sarsen stone in the field ground handling in the summer - if that makes you feel any better!) Thanks again everyone!

Guest Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 All, It is a SITE RULE that as soon as you have reached a safe height to do so you must turn AWAY from the village of Ashbury. Consider things like (when taking off into wind 'away from the village' your sound will still be hitting them! so move off to the north or South when Climbing out. Colin and I will be on site if in doubt PLEASE ASK before you take off. Again, thanks Sally Ann! its a top spot, we will do everything we can to keep the village happy.

spider Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I found seven damaged lines on my wing after the sub-zero events on Tuesday. Ended up £45 worse off in the process ! I suggest you check all your lines thoroughly. Looking forward to trying it on grass ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Sorry to hear about your lines mate, I got away with it! I did not damage one. see you on the grass SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
