ISR Glide-In - May 16-17th - Mt Leinster - RAIN FORECASTED

[Alan_Perse]

I also vote for a re-schedule for next weekend. It looks like a lot of heavy showers this weekend although they do say there may be sunny spells between them. But we probably would not get much flying done. We'll spend most of our time runing from the slopes to our cars and back again because of the showers probably.

Ok, sound like a re-sheduling so !

Dave ? Are you ok with the move ?

[Brian]

Hi Guys,
If you are moving date wise can I ask for a two week postponement as MCFC have a comp on May 23/24 and Cork have their heli event on the 24th.
Also gives a chance to make personal arrangements.

[Fred]

Alright people, we can't really keep moving dates around !
So, as the latest weather forecast shows, the week end is going to be really wet in Mt Leinster.
The ISR glide in is cancelled !
No further dates as that will be difficult to accomodate most of us ! But we can still talk about that here anyway.  

Let's hope the weather for the National is going to be much better !  

But, I will still be available for the week end, Keith, you can still keep us posted on the weather, we never know, that might have a sudden change, and people living near can still meet! (I will, I have the 2 days off from the family)

First leg of the race league will have another date and be posted asap on the Race forum!

[Brian]

Hi all,
Geeeeezz Fred is that not a bit too dramatic.
Why not pick an alternate date that gives us a chance to make arrangements and just go for it.
After all you only have a few get togethers in the Year.
Just my twopence worth.

Hey Brian,

Drama queen eh ?  :lol:
Well, I was thinking yesterday before coming to this decision, is that we can move the dates, but what if the weather is still bad ? We can't really mobilise people every week  :?:
Next week end, everybody is busy, so we can move it in the next 2 weeks, but then, we have the National the week end after or so....
2 weeks after that, that's Retroplane... Nothing in August though, so we can move it to August, but still have the race league started well before that, sometimes in June or in 2 weeks...


So, who want to have it moved in 2 weeks ? (30 - 31st of May)

And I'll update the MACI calendar.

[Brian]

Hi Fred,
I would go for 30/31 May, or if not then maybe Aug.

Brian

[Fred]

Oki doki, so that's one, thanks Brian.  

Other inputs for the dates ?

[rogallo]

30/31

[Fred]

And 2  

[Alan_Perse]

I wont be able to make it for the 30/31. I will be in England for a week. I probably wont be available the weekend after that as well. So you can count me out for the ISR Fly-In

Doesn't matter to me a great deal (If the weather is good I'll be on Big L both weekends! )

The only slight down side to the weekend of 30/31 is that it's a bankholiday weekend........If we are using the North/South slope then for clumsey old fools like me it can get a bit difficult. I've found that people/spectators tend to stand just where I want to land :!: So I'd have a little preference for next weekend.

Fred, I'll text you first thing tomorrow morning with a weather update :wink:

25km away... lucky!
You can put a webcam pointing to it.

I don't believe much in long term forecasts but still Windfinder shows a decrease in rain for the upcoming week along with a small increase in temperature.
Not sure if there is another site out there that shows more further ahead.

[joe]

Bugger! Thats a pain. Used up all the good weather last year?!

Although it does mean that I will be back in the country for the rescheduled meeting. Ha Ha Ha! My evil plan seems to be working perfectly!!  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

[Happy Days]

So which is your prefered weekend Joe? and how about Peter and Dave. What's your input guys???
