Thought this might be of interest to many of you that also love Druridge Bay: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ ... ucket=kick

Help spread the word if this concerns you too.

So many happy faces....you can tell not many have flown recently!

Yep, thanks to all that made it a great night!

Apologies for not paying on the night, if someone can PM me details I'll do a bank transfer.
Cheers.

Cheers Bill
If you PM me the bank transfer details I'll call in on Monday to sort it out unless cash on Wednesday is fine.

3 for me please, if there's enough I'll have 5 for family gifts.
I don't do bank transfers but I'll pay cash on Wednesday at the meeting if that's ok.

It was a step out of my comfort zone being an auctioneer....think I'd rather take off on a windy day!

Great fun though, especially selling Gordon's half drunk drinks cabinet & some priceless artwork!

Cheers Graeme, great update.
Bummer that we'll miss the LCC but hopefully we'll have great conditions for a week of amazing flying!
I'm happy with a quiet night closer to the airport or a "mild" night in Edinburgh, whatever the majority want

Well it has served us well for a few years...really enjoyed the 2 I've made it to!
Great place for an isolated party!

Mushrooms for starters & Turkey (no pigs in blankets, no gravy) thanks.

(Booked)

As much as I would love to be at the November meeting I can't get the night off work so please accept & minute my apologies.

A very moving trip indeed Ron, very glad I went with you all.

I'll start off on a light note, Opinions are like arseholes...everyone's got one. When I'm out to fly I know I'm responsible for my safety but I always look out for others too...safety in numbers I guess. I like to think other pilots are doing the same for me just in case there's something I've miss...

Nice one Chris, would be great to hear a talk on paramotoring.
I would love to know when they are going to make a decent silent paramotor though, that noise would do my head in!

Cheers Ron, if you PM me the details & your phone number I'll forward them on to the lad concerned & get him to ring you.

A mate & hopefully soon to be new member of our club, Darren Kirby has asked if anyone has a reserve knocking about that he could buy. No shite please, I like the guy! :lol: Not sure of his all up weight but he's a big lad so I'm guessing over 100kg. Any offers get in touch through me for now &a...

Sounds great John & usually I'd jump at the chance of another snow holiday but I'm booked up for Tignes 30th Jan to 6th Feb, moving house & saving for the NHPC flying holiday with Lee Tryhorn in May....that doesn't mean a definite no though!

Great pics Brian!

Definitely another great BBQ made all the better by the efforts from those involved. Shame that some of the (ir)regulars couldn't make it but it was good to have some new faces too. Apologies from myself & Alison for not contributing to the money pot, clean forgot as we left but I'll bring it to...

Your best bet is to meet up & travel in with someone...from past experience :lol: I think we should form a few convoys for people travelling at different times... Will be best if it's flyable so we can all meet on a hill before heading into the unknown. If it's not flyable I can head up anytime ...

Apologies for not getting involved earlier, I've been away on holiday...not flying in Cornwall! Personally I'm not that bothered about competitions...I know that probably sounds rich after doing OK at the Grasmere Show but I was just trying my best in a low key, enjoyable, fun day out...which is wha...

Is Graeme not sleeping in his car again this year? & I thought Brian Rowe would be sharing with someone

That's me booked up too, £217.98 including 20kg baggage...much better on the wallet than the £402 from Newcastle.

Cheers to Graeme Stephenson for sorting the trip out & Graeme Gilroy for sorting train from Newcastle to Edinburgh out, very much appreciated!

Bring on the holiday, can't wait!

I'll call round with them on a USB stick when I'm back up north unless you'd prefer them emailed.

My enquiry for 1 has just come up as £402 there & back but there's an option for 10 or more...will we hit that if we're all in Graeme? Might bring the price down a little...

Suits me too...well, I'm sure it'll be fine for me to get the time off somehow but I won't get my shift rota until December.

Count me in too, credit cards are great for this kinda thing & I'm sure Alison will understand...

That was my plan again this year Bill but I won't get over til about 8pm cos of work. Hoping the security will let me on but if not I'll be looking for a lay-by somewhere close

Well it all worked out ok last year

I'm in!
Is anyone going over on the Saturday and camping?
I'm up for it but will be leaving after work at 6pm.
