Happy Days:
Well, the long range forecast for the Glide - In is showing 13 degrees with broken cloud for Saturday and,….Oh no… Rain! for the Sunday.

But then, it’s a long way off so it could all change by then.
What we need is some eternal optimism, maybe if we all think positive it’ll be a sunny weekend with strong winds one day, and light breezes the next, so everyone will be happy. :D

So who is going to be there? Well, it seems that Ralph is bringing some electrical gear up for Richard’s new man cave, so I guess that means there will be some ‘R+R’ on the mountain. (Okay, I know the pun is a bit corny.) And if Ralph is coming up from Cork I dare say Les will be keeping him company on the journey, and maybe they’ll tie Kevin to the roof rack as well.
I’m hoping Andy (god bless him) will show as he’s bringing some bottles of wine, which I can’t buy here in the south, and JP will be there too.
‘Grand Master’ Fred will grace us with his presents (yes, I know the spelling is wrong ) and hopefully a few, (or all) of the lads from around the Dublin area will show up.
Mr. Buckley has threatened to put in an appearance with his latest Red and Yellow, (…..or is it Yellow and Red?) creation, and of course I shall be there to annoy everyone.

I’m wondering if Joe might see fit to pull himself away from his water sports, and I understand that we might have a couple of newcomers who are interested in perusing the “Civilized” way of aero modelling.

So, who else is intending to join our little gathering? Come on lads,….sound off! :arrow:

Keith.

Richard Boyd:
Hi Keith, yes tyhe Northern crew is all set for the weekend trip to Mt L  :clap:

I thought maybe Kees would have been here with us in Ireland to join up but just got an amail to say its the weekend before that he is back in Ireland. He is one great man and loves the slope but then he is a Dutch man and thay do not have any slopes to fly. What we have not got we always want.

I am not bringing Diane as Frenchy Fred has promised to teach her to fly and I object to learner woman on the slope during a mans day lol
I am building up some ironing to keep her busy over the said weekend lol
I hope she does not read this or my plan will be scuttled.

billscottni:
Sorry Keith I'm still not up to travelling that sort of distance.  :x

 Did a couple of trips for work this week about 5o mile each way and it wiped me out!! :cry:

Happy Days:
Yeah, Bill. I was talking to JP in Newcastle and he was telling me that you were still having a hard time of it. :(  Pitty coz it’s gonna be good fun. Hopefully next spring will see you once again on the slopes of Big L.

You’re a braver man than me for putting that in writing Richard! :shock:  Maybe Kees can also join us in the spring. :D

Incidentally guys, the National Ploughing Championship is in Co. Wexford this year, in the week leading up to the Glide-In. Why not come to the Sunny South East and take an extended break! :wink:

Fred:
Moi!  :D

Come on Richard, bring Diane!! Promise, we'll only talk about washing machines and how to cook a good meal, nothing RC!  :mrgreen:

Oh, did I just sent the link to your post to Diane? Did I?  :P  :P  :lol:
