This is of course without the usual impromptu and normal weekends :)

There is again a big gap. Anything in May, June and Summer you would like to organise, let me know!
Would like to see some aerotow action too this year :)

Cork, Shannon, any dates yet?
NI?


FALAISE - For those of you interested, this is the 3rd week end of September. 15th Anniversary this year  :)
MENEZ-HOM - as I get them
MACON - Start the 5th of May.

Any other dates?
Also, new forum, new features, each event can be added to the calendar. A post can be created for them automatically, or not. How cool is that?  ;D

Hi Fred,

Ps. Like the updated forum.

Thanks Rob

Hey Fred, my ol' fruit, my ol' mate, my ol' friend. How can I put this  without seeming to be critical :-\

PSS,........second weekend of March. We know that "Paddy's Day" the following week is always chilly. Is there a particular reason why PSS has to be in March? And so early in March. (If you get my drift ;) )

Keith
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

You are like my girlfriend Keith, you can be critical  :-*

No particular reasons other than I pick up the same dates every years for years  ;D
Worked quite well so far, except the odd lack of wind from times to times (last year, the PSS only flew on the Sunday if I remember. Lightish stuff on the Saturday).

But if a majority want to move the date, nothing is set in stone  :)

I thought we'd talked at the last event of maybe moving the PSS to April and having an event in late May/ June time?

looking forward to meeting up ralph.

does 'about 9' mean getting out of bed at 9 or arriving at tountinna at 9?
