Hi all,

Let's hope you all don't just disappear into your members section never to be seen again.

I enjoy using your site and contributing, so please, as Colin said, try to keep the members section for your super secret and sensitive club issues. Will you be using invisible font? I didn't think lemon juice worked on a computer screen.

Please keep the crack going for us all to see, you often have me laughing out loud at the posts. It wouldn't be the same without you all taking the p**s out of Gary :lol:

Yeah - I too hope that you don't all dissapear off to the "members only" area. I spoke to your club a while ago and it was suggested that living in Edinburgh then membership was not practical however I do have mates in your club and regularly read/contribute to the forum as well as fly with them on my trips back home.

Cheers

Hi Colin,
I can't now see a private section, although I can log in and see the safety, accidents section. Has it gone forever? My real name is Jim Bittlestone (like I would make that one up!)
Cheers
Jim
P.S. Keep up the good work, I'm sure it will all calm down soon

Hi,
As a newbie to the sport I'm always on the look out for new advice and information possibly being beneficial to my own and others safety.

Is there any LOGICAL reason in hiding your "SAFETY, ACCIDENT, INCIDENT" forum away in the members only area.
Surely as the content builds there will be a great deal of worthwile information which would of course be beneficial to all visitors to the site, not only paid-up members........

new section

Post by GlennP »

Hi Dave,

I think the feeling was that people were becoming reluctant to share their negative PG experiences due to the flack they were getting on the open forum by non members. This does no one any favours.

The excellent site adminstrators and the top notch chairman got together to create this new section.

I don't think it about locking other people out but I do think certain sensitive club/site/accident information is not for general consumption. Other clubs I've been a member of do not allow this kind of information out into cyberspace either. There's no way of vetting, in reality, who looks at an open forum or who pitches in on debates so club stuff should in my opinion be debated by club members only.

Regards,

Glenn

I think its worth pointing out that any learning points and information that would benefit the other forum users would be posted in the pub section. No one is missing any important stuff.

As Jim says I don't think the intention is to lock out important stuff that enhances safety for other forum users.

Hi guys

just a quick note to let you know that I've posted some rather 'sensitive' information regarding R Cardwell, S Greenwell and some of the other NYSC boys on the 'Private NHPC members only' section.

I urge you all to read it asap.

Cheers

Ali

It wasn't me!!!

The farmer dropped all the charges, the sheep recovered and the DNA test proved inconclusive. I was in Cumbria at the time and as the Cumbrian pilots were all doing it, so it didn't feel so strange...."When in Rome"



Ali, I hope this was funny enough to hurt :lol:

Better still, I've got all the sleaze on Ali, with his chickens and ginger fetish, I've given it to Glenn, who's putting it out on the Beeb news tonight.
Stuff the privacy bit, the closet doors have bust open. :P
PS. Ali I love you and your chickens, but I can't get the colour right I'll just have to get it shaved!!!!
See you out there!!!!!

Yeah - well I can see why you don't want to share your serious topics with non-members.
This topic's obviously of more interest to the "monkeys" who call themselves "full members".

Cheers
Look forward to meeting the more "serious guys out there on the hill"

Thanks
Dave.
