Great to hear you are having such a good time Colin!

Let us see the videos!

We went last year, and had a wonderful weekend, watching Alain Robert give a talk on his insane free climbing of buildings.

We will be going again this year.

Come on Bill, you must have nipped into an internet caf somewhere in France, let us know how the road trip is going!

September Brian..... not August!

You have a month and a week to wait.

HA HA HA HA HA!

Consider thst to be maniacal laughter.......

I have cast a spell over the summer. it will not be flyable until the second week in September.

You read it first here.

Woody Valley peak 2 served me exceptionally well Andrew.

Yea, it has been a crap year, although I did manage a flight on Cross fell.....

Postcode is NE43 7QY

Same format as before, with camping on the front lawns, BBQs lit and ready at 7.

Please can you bring salads and soft drinks as we have really not had the opportunity to prepare as much as usual.

Roll up on Saturday for lots of fun, frolics and free Beer! As usual there will be competitions, a quiz, and possibly some more live music. Who can forget last years pyramid building competition? ( I know I have tried really hard to, but still get nightmares.....) There will be BBQs for people to co...

I will have a number 14, and Susan will have a number 11.

And an extra portion of prawn crackers please!

This is more like it!

Sod the flying - it is all about the partying!

Gary did ring me yesterday and gave me some background on the weekends events. I have to say I was shocked.

The club meeting is an opportunity for members to meet socially, for new members to come along and learn what we do, and to have a pint in pleasant surroundings. A community centre is NOT going to work. It will not have the neccesary facilities. Lets get back to what the meeting is about - a chance ...

Well done for making the effort Colin and Ron! By the sounds of it your weekend was not wasted anyway, with lots of team building opportunities! :D :D It brings to mind a certain video of Mr Little, screaming "Nooo noooo Kay, please stop, you are hurting me!" Which coincidentally was also ...

I am not going to be in a position to do any organising or lifting etc for the party, and more importantly am not really in a fit state at present to cope with an evenings drinking! I have spoken with Gary, and we have agreed that the BBQ will now be on Saturday 17th July, three weeks later than ori...

Well done both of you from both of us!

Now just 6 months of sleepless nights to look forward to.

Just had an email from Steve Jobs (well, ok, a peice of junk mail from Apple) saying the new iphone is out this month, but more importantly there is a significant upgrade for the OS on existing phones.

I prefer Marge Simpsons.

She is so much better looking.

I mean, in a certain light, with that low cut dress she wears......

Its the drugs honest!!!

Can I recommend wearing the heaviest weight boots you can get.....

You cruel heartless bar Steward Mr Guthrie!!

Faye told me she needed a magnifying glass, and wanted to know whether it was grounds for divorce??

Who is talking about me?
What are all of these rumours?
Merely because I choose the cheap route to a helicopter flight you would think something was wrong!

Have a look in private section

Only so long as you bring your guitar Anto!

The music last year was brilliant.

Bottom landing fields:

Either the field to the west of the church, or

An email has been sent to all of the other clubs:- The weekends comp is now Green! It looks like a classic flying day, so the plan is to meet in the village of Kirkland at 10:30am, parking by the church. Please do not drive into the village and upset the natives! We will arrange a shuttle to carry p...

Nice flight mate! I have to agree with Chris, I thought there was no possibility of anything yesterday. In any event I was on airport duty, so no chance to get out anyway. Do you know that they have now removed the free 5 minutes parking at the airport, and even if you just drop someone of , stoppin...

Yes Yes Please Ron!

Many thanks

The comp is cancelled for this weekend.

We think that Saturday is possibly flyable, but Sunday is definitely wet and miserable.

We have therefore decided to keep our powder dry, and hopefully next weekend or the weekend after will be better.

We will keep you posted.

In view of the impending inaugural round of the N54 series, Brian Paul and myself have been having some discussions over the practical application of the new competition rules for the N54 Competition, and how these will work in practise. The starting point is the pairing of pilots to form a “team”. ...

Get back to work you lazy sod!

You are not by any chance of to help Ozone stitch some gliders together???

The Amber warning is now down graded to a 40w yellow lightbulb sort of colour. Paul and I have spoken, and think that there is less than a 50/50 chance of the comp going ahead this weekend. Saturday looks to W or WNW for cross fell, and Sunday looks rained off. So given there are still two weekends ...
