NHPC Private and Public Forum

Ive been to the last 2 and had a great time. Hope it's on again next year.

Doesn't mean to say we can't have other club events and bashes.

I'm always well up for a beach party And a fixed date club event on east hill or something. The world is our oyster

I haven't been on skis since Xmas 2011! I'd be up for a snow holiday but all depends on when and for how long. I've booked up loads already and only got one week and one day left out of my June to June annual leave. Will watch this thread and see how it comes along.

Sounds like a canny talk for a club meeting?

Really good turn out up Jenkins Hill today - about 50 pilots all took their turn to fly down in tribute. Ali G, Brian R, Mehdi, Gordon and me for NHPC. Ron Don turned up at The Pheasant after the best flight of day at St Bees (aka Blease) :D I didn't know the lad who died but it was great to see suc...

Belting photos!

Many thanks to Wanny Jollies' Bill and co for organising the BBQ again. I hope Milkhope is on again next year. Great craic!

I'll keep it simple and pay my contribution into the bank Angus

Really looking forward to following your adventures - be sure to keep posting what you've been up to on here!

Mehdi wrote:Hi Graeme
Can you PM me your account details so that I can pay you the £150 deposit.
cheers

I'll see if Lee is ok to send everyone his account number and sort code.

http://freeflightacademy.com/events/italy-abruzzo-2015/ Link to advert for Abruzzo with our week badged as "sold out" but to formally confirm we will need to pay a £150 deposit each sometime soon to secure our discount. Lee and Fiona are going there in next couple of weeks and will be fin...

You will need these codes for doing your check-in and for managing any enquiries related to your flight. Departure From Edinburgh (EDI) to Rome (CIA), with Ryanair RW52NG Confirmed Return From Rome (CIA) to Edinburgh (EDI), with Ryanair UKDYFC Confirmed Ok I've booked my flight. I don't want to put ...

Ok all Ryanair are doing my head in already :D If I search for a single price return flight its £133 (without baggage) and £185 with 20 kg hold luggage. If I search for 2 adults its £150 each with baggage extra (so that explains the difference Eddie) If I search for 9 adults it's an incredible incre...

This is the last call for passengers on flight number NHPC9 from Edinburgh to Rome 29.5.16>5.6.16. To secure the best flight prices asap I'll book flights tomorrow morning Sunday 13th sept for those that have already sent details or are sending them later today or tomorrow. Many thanks to everyone f...

Mehdi wrote:Hi Graeme,
I assume there will be an allowance for hand luggage as most of 20kg will go on the glider or are you adding extra luggage when booking?
My details text to you.
Well done for organising this.

Yes hand luggage is allowed - but I need to check max weight.

Cheers Bill I may have misinterpreted your message - as Gordon says it's good to talk and a bit of continued banter might help us arrive at an idea that everyone is in agreement with. Trouble is I don't know what to say next :D several members have submitted ideas covering xc, accuracy, height, dura...

Been looking at Edreams on the web. Flight with Ryanair from Edinburgh to Rome (ciampino) 29th May-5th June £150 return. Baggage 15k £33 return 20k £51 return. Wouldn't be too expensive to travel up to Edinburgh in shared cars and a weeks airport parking. However the price will go up as time goes o...

£402!!!

Mine came back at £352 from Newcastle and £326 from Leeds Bradford

I've submitted a request for a quote to Jet2 for a block booking but they will sending it by email which I await.

Dear All Before we commit to and confirm this holiday I suggest you check flight prices from Newastle to Rome return on Sunday 29th May to Sunday 5th June 2016 - Jet2.com Unbeknown to me at the time we have chosen a bank holiday weekend to depart so prices are a little more than I expected. I'm ok p...

With full appreciation for members who are taking the time and trouble to get things organised I'm really looking forward to this years Milkhope very much and Gary's comp if it comes off. But looking forwards to next year I don't understand why the thread should stop debating possibilities for futur...

Quick update - Lee and Fiona are currentlly in Olu Deniz for a fortnight doing two SIV courses - but we managed to Skype last night and I've told them our preferred dates and potential numbers.

They will be back in touch later this week with details and further advice.

Agreed Gordon, we voted yes to Gary's proposals so stick with that for this year. if the weather allows and we get a chance I'll give it a go and participate to the best of my ability for the experience and a good laugh. But looking forwards to next year a family orientated fun based day could be a ...

Sounds good!

But can the club also consider some other fun type comps that lower airtime pilots can compete in equally?

The grasmere show highlights how accuracy and height gained, highest altitude comps etc are well attended, have a good day and are inclusive to all.

Where's that photo Gary took of Mad Dog last year? The one where he's flying into the sun?

Great see everyone at Grasmere - and a huge well done to Angus and Gordon! I didn't stay a second night because I didn't get hardly a winks sleep in the back of my car on Saturday night - the walk up to Heron pike finished me off :D On the way home I drove past Clough - someone had left a blue and w...

No probs Brian - the more the merrier. I won't book anything until everyone has the opportunity to double check. Plenty of time. The only thing we need to consider is getting booked up before lee uploads his available dates in Italy online - to fit us all in in one week we need to secure our dates b...

I agree my paragraph above re costs could be more clear. So before we book anything just clarify Flights (NCL to Rome) Plus Spends (food and drink etc I need to find out if there is self catering, house catering etc) Plus £510 - airport and daily transport (retrieves, days out etc), accommodation, i...

With 6 it looks like we have enough for a discount which is a bonus! I suppose the next step is to agree a date and book that week. The more the merrier - there's still space for 3 or 4 more so if anyone wants to add their name at a later date you are welcome. I'll take a shot at suggesting a date 2...
