Topic: Cosford meet-ups

I know a few folk are proposing meeting in the beer tent, but as many peeps may be wandering around at various times on different days and as I have not actaully met any forum members yet,( apart from club buddies of course )  that is not always a guaranteed way to meet up. Would quite like to just say hi etc to a few members, especially those that I have done the odd job or 2 for    are there any better / more fixed arrangements for forum members to meet ?  I have sent my mobile number to some, and if any others fancy a quick meet, post on here   or PM me.
Mrs FBD and I plan to be there Sat 11 - 6 ish ::cc

On the hour, every hour, YT stand     cos i will be there, and cannot spare time to do the beer tent,  i will be nipping out though, to go and keep an eye on the bring and buy, in the storage marquee

Likewise, the Wholesale Planes stand is open and your quite welcome to come along and say hello.  Look forward to meeting some more of you.

Best regards
Ken, Terry & Linda

I will be behind the flightline helping out for the weekend but have no problem coming out for a chat just let me know where

A simple solution is to wear your RCMF "T" Shirt (shame if you dont buy one  ), or as a simple alternative get some T-Shirt transfer paper (£3~4 10 sheets) and at least print and iron RCMF & your name on your fav T-Shirt (yes the SUN WILL be out). Then take lots of beer money coz everyone will want you to but them a pint (Well I DO  ::cc).

Oops, sorry to here that, nothing too bad I hope.

Rectal cancer I'm afraid.  Not good.

Sorry to hear that, best of luck to you all.

Does anyone know what the progam of events is?
Cause it would be easy to say 1 oclock in the beer tent but if that clashes with a monumental display of some kind, it won't work too well................

I haven't seen a program yet but usually at lunchtime there is the flightline walk about, so no flying then, so that could be a good time, unless members want to look at the models?

Steve

I think the the lunchtime slot is around 1:00pm but I will try and check with Dave Johnson and get back to you.

I'll be flightline side all weekend.....but Valkyrie/C47/Banshee/2 x P47's will be there, so I won't be hard to find...............so come say Hi during the lunchtime walkabout...............

Phil

Over to you Andy, are go gonna run a  stall from wiz's caravan 

Sadly I wont be there, I will be at the full size international fly-in at Breighton in Yorkshire for the weekend, we are doing some model flying on both days. Should be a good weekend, real shame it clashed with Cosford though.

Hopefully I'll see most of you there

Not if we see you first  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It is around 1:00PM So can anyone confirm a meet up point need to know as i will be there from Friday

The bar is as good as anywhere, but we could do with a flag or something for new members to recognize.

pointless saying meeting in the beer tent as hardly no one will be there. tried that in the past 2 years and only a very few turn up 

perhaps thats because some people dont pay £10 to get into a model flying show, and spend half their time inside a tent drinking beer ... ?

Good point have you got any suggestions

yes meet up somewhere else ! Perhaps outside a major dealers "tent" like YT or Als whatever...( ususally too full inside ) 2PM, Sunday.
Now, I will wait for all the quite reasonable complaints from those who want to be elsewhere at 2Pm, or are going on Saturday etc etc.
My original post also suggested that those people that I "know" albeit virrrtually, could just text /call me on my mobile when they are there, and we would simply meet up and say Hi etc in the flesh as it were.... but obviously it would be nice to meet other forum members too, IF THEY WANT TO....some may not !

Sounds good, but it may be better to make it 1pm as that should be lunchtime, 2pm should be back to flying

I vote for the YT trade stand

Steve

p.s. I always forget the time anyway, eh Stevo

Also when they have to drive home later that day.

Saturday 1pm at the YT tent, then bar afterwards

Great as I will be there for the weekend I vote YT Stand 1:00pm Sat & Sun then the beer tent

See, I told you 2pm would be no good , and if the flightline walk is "lunchtime" does that put the mockers on it too  ?
 
Incidentally who is volunteering to stand around holding one of them "tour guide " type boards, you know the ones... with the coach party numbers / etc on 'em. We could have one with the new logo on 
I reckon a brolly dolly should volunteer for it dont you chrissy ?

Sounds good, but it may be better to make it 1pm as that should be lunchtime, 2pm should be back to flying

Oi easy.......

I'll be on the Mackay stand if people would like to remind me when were meeting up, throughout the day 

Always useful when your busy.

2pm.....not sure yet as I might be flying/helping in the first slot after lunch, we'll see.

Steve

1pm at the YT stand sounds good to me


Mark.

just phoned DAK up,  weather at cosford is glorious,   many there already,    for the meet up, full size spit is due at 12.10. the yak is due after this, at 12.45,   this window is the only one they can get, so, its both together,

 before this will be the flightline walk,  usual quid to charity,   if there is weather, the aircraft will orbit, till called in, so they could run a little late,        so, is the 13.00 meet up a tad early?  or just right

Okay I will be at the YT Stand at 1:00pm I will have a Gray peak hat on with a white X on the front of it sorry its the best i can do

I,ll just circulate and meet anyone who cares to say Hi . I dont feel the need for a regimented meeting place and time .

Maybe see ya soon
