I'm off the first week of September... After that, all ok for me...
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Right, guys, we are now looking at an alternative date for a slope trip to Kerry around the middle of September - around 15-16th maybe?!

Any comments on a date around then?

Good chance I'll be able to make it Chris. Get back to Ireland on the Wednesday before. My other half won't be impressed! But I can probably make it work! Thanks for trying to make this happen. Will be great if a few of us can get flying together  :clap:

Lads,
   fix a firm date of the 16th of Sept and I will have 4 to 8 to travel. However they need a firm date here, the week after and the week before are other events.

Chris, can we fix this as the date?

Cheers
Ralph

I agree it is up to Chris to set a date, but it needs to be set to allow people to say they will or they cannot come!

Right guys, it's all coming together now for the 16/09/2007!

Brian and I have doing doing further research on venues (I know, its a really, really tough job, but someone.....!), and we now have lined up a fantastic, tried and tested slope for every wind direction except vertical! :D   They are as follows:

Mweelin (478m): SW, S, SE.

Rossbeigh Hill (274m): NW, N, NNE

Seefin Mountain, Glenbeigh (43m): NE, E

Carrahane Strand, Ardfert (17m): West.


Reserve West slope: White Strand, Rossbeigh Beach, Glenbeigh.


Meeting places will have to be determined closer to the date, depending on what Windguru (http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=47753) tells us (use "Inch Strand" spot for Glenbeigh area, "Banna Beach" for Ardfert area).  

Suggested meeting spots are as follows:

West wind:  Tralee, outside MacDonalds as you come in from the Limerick/Castleisland side.

NW to E: Glenbeigh, outside the Londis petrol station/food store, last business on the right just before you leave town for Kells/Caherciveen (and just before the right turn that goes down to Rossbeigh beach).

SE to SW: Ballyvourney, Cork, in parking lot behind that pub/shop on the north side of the road, which is also the last business on the right side of the road before you leave town for Killarney (name to follow - this is also a great spot for take-aways, or for relaxing afterwards!).

It would be best to swop phone numbers, my mobile no. is: 087 929 7071.

PlLease feel free to suggest alternative arrangements!

Chris

Excellent stuff Chris. Fairest of plays to ya!

Had Gerry Buckley on from Limerick (Glider Sec Shannon club). He's into coming down too and maybe a few from the Shannon club. Will pass the info on to him and get some numbers.

And the Leinster lads? Me and Fred defo. Peter, Alan you guys in?
