NHPC Private and Public Forum

The great flying continues in the lakes yesterday with our own Chris "I'm not playing the xc game man, I'm just enjoying the walk up and the fly back to the car" Little, who, after climbing Cat Bells, decided to fly back down to the car. Unfortunately someone, (an accomplice me thinks), mu...

You probably made the right decision if it didnt feel right. I don't think flying at the coast is something that can be pushed, it's either on or it's not. If you look at flights on the league from Marske and Saltburn, looking at height in particular, (ignore my flight to Whitby as my GPS wasn't rea...

Nice one Chris, you and Jan have it spot on.

If its true that you only want more pilots to fly nhpc sites, why not get a trophy made for Cheviot XC flights? This may be a better way to acheive this without the need to chase folk out of the club? Oh and if I'm next for the Tony Bradley treatment, don't bother, just ask, I'll gladly leave. That'...

Gary, six of last years top ten pg pilots, (according to the xc league scores for 2010 and national xc league 2010) including our top two pilots, (Ali and Tony) will not be at the April meeting and therefore will have no say in these radical changes. Since you are so concerned about fairness, it may...

Brian, I suggest that you actually read Garys post at the top of this thread.
He does not suggest nhpc sites for one trophy, he suggests it for all individual hg and pg trophies. You are misleading club members to say otherwise.

I'm not sure why this is being pushed?? Just because other clubs do this doesn't mean we should follow. They have sites where folk regularly fly 50k, 100k. We don't. Why would forcing folk to fly our sites make anything fairer? There are many variables to getting decent flights on the board, it will...

Just want to bump this as we have 17 booked so far for the Xmas night out in Newcastle on the 16th December, which is great. If anymore are interested, please post/ pm sooner rather than later so I can get in touch with Prima and increase our numbers from 18. They want final numbers by the end of No...

Champion thats 10 now.

Menus are on the website above, we need to order 3 days before, tis great value watching everyones faces when they fo...

I guess I should say that if the 16th is no good for folk we can take a majority decision on another day, but I'm not sure on availability for other days? Just thought it would be an idea to name a date? Oh and the menus are http://www.primarestaurant.co.uk/menus/prima_xmas_2010.pdf scroll down to t...

Ok, apologies if I'm stepping on toes here, if I am, I'll gadly take my foot off and step back into the shadows, but here goes: I've provisionally booked the Prima restaurant at Newcastle Quayside where about 20 of us went last year. http://www.primarestaurant.co.uk/home.html I have booked it for 8p...
