I'm on holiday next week, so will be available to fly with you. I will post on the web site if I'm going out.
It would be helpful if you could bring your BHPA membership card with you for site insurance etc.
Feel free to ring, 01670365562 or 07711313785

Many thanks for your sensible and pleasant approach to our club Eric!

I am sure you are safe in Brians hands..... he is really good at top to bottoms.....

Only joking both of you... Brian will show you where it is flyable.... As a member of the British Club Championship winning team......

(not wanting to rub it in to the Thames Valley club... )

Actually we are mainly sane up here....

Eric we used to have a fantastic relationship with the hang glider pilots of the Thames Valley club. The Likes of Neville Almond Dave & Kay Draper Kim Tipple and Jason Prior. Have flown some of your sites including Milk Hill and Oliver's mount. Great part of the country and your pilots were always very competitive. It'll be nice to have a chat if we meet on the hill.

I have returned home to Oxford after my yearly chill out week in Northumberland.
Thank's to the NHPC for welcoming me.
I would like to thank Ron Freeman for making an extra effort. "thank's for keeping me informed on the phone".
When i lost my broadband connection and could not log into the forum. to keep up to speed with you all. Ron suggested a day out on the training hill.
Always good to get a bit of ground handling in and a couple of top to bottoms.
Thanks also to Bill Scott.

regards

Eric Perkins

P.s.
If any of your members come up to Oxfordshire. contact me and i'll
introduce you to the TVHGC. and assist with sites and weather.
