CONFIRMATION OF AGM - 11:00 Saturday 4th August Shobdon
The weather forecast for tomorrow (4th) is not brilliant, but at least it
is better than Sunday's is expected to be. Those flying in, please
exercise care and read back airfield information - in hilly country it
helps those out of contact with the airfield to know what is going on
earlier rather than later. Also, please remember that we are still not
allowed to fly IMC in homebuilts in this country. Bill
To all members
Please note that our AGM is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. local time
Shobdon (EGBS) this Saturday the 4th August, and you are all very welcome,
thanks to the great hospitality of David Corbett (Treas). Barring
sleep-talkers we should be out of there within =BD an hour after which we
have a very full schedule, with a sight-seeing tour of 30 of Wales' most
notable places of interest. Heading South first (NB Flyer has free landing
at Swansea in Summer edition - bring it) , and North second. BBQ lunch is
with me from13:00 at Talybont (in AFE guide and on my web site as above
email address) and tea at Mona. It is not a competition but we need to
pack as much as we can in to Saturday b'cos Sunday's weather is looking
highly suspect. So unless the forecast materially improves it will
probably only be a one day event this year ending at Welshpool or Shobdon,
at around 18:30. If the weather does improve, we will descend on Mona on
Sunday (1,666 x 45 meters hard) for some RT, Landing and Practice Forced
Landing competitions. Unless the majority would prefer to build sand
castles, play marbles, tiddly winks etc., in which case I'll see you guys
next year? It'll be great to see you all again, but I gotta stress that
you must use your own discretion at all times; be responsible for your own
flight planning and follow best practice at all times. These new suing TV
ads terrify me, so take extra special care.
