Neilzy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Its On......... spoken to land owner who is more than happy for a fly in at our field, so the thinking is one weekend in July/August Friday Sat Sun, with camping onsite, if funds allow a Sat eve BBQ and if enough people some entertainment in the from of local band. So would be cool to know how many would be up for it hopefully will attach a poll to this thread but feel free to tag thread or ask questions should be a great weekend flying. Neilzy Any prefrence to dates would also be a help Field located not to far from Southend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clivefreeman Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Neil will Paul allow a communal camp fire so we don't freeze our nuts off. Can't beat a nice camp fire to tell of all our flying tales. Superb site to fly along the river and go for swim I'n the fresh sea water!!

Neilzy Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Paul is fairly happy to do most (especially the pole dancers Matts suggestion he really liked that idea) he was cool for a BBQ and entertainment I know he has a fireworks bonfire so kinda think it wont be a problem but whatever he just said check it out with him so when we have a set date and schedule plan whatever i will put final arrangments to him.

Neilzy Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 yes your right so that would put Coast flying out untill after 6pm dont think competing with a Tornado or Euro fighter will do much for my confidence but will could still fly up the Crouch etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
