Topic: Castle Howard 2007!!

Hi all

We are on for next year!!  At the moment we are working on 8th-9th September!!

Any suggestions for improvements gratefully received.

Andy

You have already made the best suggestion, camping in the paddock next door to the field.

No need to set up a special provissions tent then 

10 k spacing all week end, If LMA dont like then they can always sit it out.

Ps get a fly bye from the Focker and an SE5a 

Would it be possible for the required A cert to be relaxed. Maybe Spadulike could come then
Sames rules as the other flyin, none A cert holders have an A cert helper/spotter.

On site camping & keep them working on the grass/surface quality. (was OK for big wheel, but some of the smaller models did struggle)

Other than that..............all OK.

Phil (an LMA member who has no issues with 10K spacing)

Phil,   i know you dont have a problem with 10k is that not why

.............it helps  ....................

Will definately be 10k spacing, already have a contingency plan for shorter grass, but don't expect to need it next year.

Will be working on getting the paddock for camping.

As for A cert, I have to say my feeling is keep that bit, however for a bacon butty I can nip down the M1 and test SUL, or is he chicken?

Andy,

I couldnt possibly comment on that issue (not without getting a kick in the nuts from SUL), but seeing as tho we are in the Midlands Area, wouldnt we need to get Area approval first?

Check with Spurry, but I thing as long as your committee agree it's not a problem

Everything was awesome and things already mentioned will make it even better! We are definately there next year along with a few other club members hopefully!

Just keep it as relaxed and informal as this years and you are onto a winner.

That all sounds good to me!  The least pleasant part of the weekend for us was the high cost of the campsite (nearly 3x what we'd paid/night the previous week for only slightly improved facilities).  However it wouldn't stop us from attending next year.  In fact Avice just came into the workshop as I was typing this and her reaction when I told her the event was 'on' for next year was 'Great!'.  So it looks like we'll be there, all being well.

Looking forward to seeing the SE5a

KENCO Coffee would be nice in the refreshment tent that other stuff gave me headache

Andy, count the Wiz clan in !  Could you arrange the same weather please?

Andy If possible could have a word with the chap upstairs and get the sun moved to the other side of the house please. Bloomin difficult trying to fly with charred retina's/retinii.

I thought it'd be  a "B" cert wot I have not got (yet) but I do have the "A" so I'm keen, just have to get a day pass as it happens to be my wedding anniversary.......

...............what better way to celebrate?  ...................I even managed 2 hours flying on my wedding day 

'spose the obvious question is...

are you still married ?     

you're a braver man than me, Phil 

Pooh

Bring her with you, fliers and spouses get free entry to the house and grounds!!

good point...might well swing it with that 

You won't be in Devon then Pooh ?
