Peter Garsden Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 If I have to eat on my own at McDonalds there is no way I am sharing any of the plastic toys with anyone. And if I don't go to bed early enough I will be so cranky.Its just soooooooooo unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Chaps.... Ive been issued with a writ from a Lawyer in Cheshire re: The Meal On Saturday. It seems we are in breach of local by-laws if we eat Asian based foods on Saturday night if we number greater than 3. So Ive defaulted to the old grub house that is Afon Conwy ( Premier Inn )......its better than nowt, and as the Indian restauarant I was going to use have cocked up and double booked us with an earlier booking anyway - and I can't be arsed to try and find an alternative at this short notice. Any complaints..... take it up with a lawyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kettle 1 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Double jeopardy Tim, it takes the curry liberties and booking miscarriages of justice, so it's common taters for us then that night, not to worry, happy meal it is then.

Conwy Soarer Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Weirdly the PSS meets on the Orme seem to match my duty rota at school precisely, duty housemaster again next weekend, fingers crossed someone might cover for an hour or two to fly my Vampire and Tucano with other PSS models not just the Orme gulls and SDC kids.

Mark Kettle 1 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm I correct in saying 'XC wind direction' so far looks like we'll over the pier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Cooke Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yeah that's right Mark. East or North East sees us fly that side of the hill. Not ideal for the meet due to the walk with our models and kit but a good, powerful flying slope and excellent for the cameras with the sun on our backs! If it goes South East then we have a problem as that's the only direction that cannot be flown on the Orme. We are watching the weather closely as you can imagine!!

Phil Cooke Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 This weekend 8th/9th October sees us meet on the Great Orme, Llandudno, for the final planned event of our 30th Anniversary Season. The forecast continues to show Easterly winds dominating, which will see us fly from the cliff tops overlooking the pier. For this site we DO NOT park at the usual 'Tank Track' car park – instead we would park in the Dry Ski Slope Car Park (up through Happy Valley at the base of the pier) and walk up past the ski slope café, through the gate and up the stone stairs to the flying site. For those with larger models it is advised to park on top of the Orme (turn right just before the Tram Station and follow the gravel path to the grassy area where you will see cars parked on the left hand side) – this results in a further walk (~10 mins) but a flatter one and aids the ‘delivery’ of large models to the slope edge. The forecast wind strength is not as strong as we would have hoped for and looks more suited to the lighter loaded PSS models. The Easterly slope is proven to work very well but offers little or no salvage land-out area – so not ideal for our Fly For Fun meeting but we will do our best to run the event despite the conditions. Electric and Sports models are allowed of course in the case of the windspeed being insufficient for PSS. I hope to see you up there – meet on top at 10am each day.

Tim Mackey Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Summed up nicely Phil. E or ENE 10MPH at sea level will see plenty of lift on this ski site slope, so here's looking forward to a great finish to the very successful PSSA anniversary year. If parking at the tramway halfway station point, please be sure to leave the farm access road clear, and if at the ski-slope park there is a decent overspill parking area to the left as you reach the site. Toilets and cafe are available at the skicentre - about a ten minute walk down from the "Pits". See you there chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kettle 1 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Because we are at a different slope I'm not taking the day tent Not Taking it - >>> Day Tent at Next Meeting :- "It not here - listen" Edited By Mark Kettle 1 on 07/10/2016 11:21:43 Edited By Mark Kettle 1 on 07/10/2016 11:24:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John H. Rood Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Guys, in case you didn't see this on my Facebook page, I'll try and post the link here: **LINK** Just a little something to wish you all a great weekend on the slope! Here's to Happy Landings, always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 This afternoon in town the wind had definately dropped off from yesterdays strength. Still ENE so direction should still work from the ski centre slope. Forecast is now showing 7 - 8 mph for Saturday, with stronger forecast for Sunday. Up top of course thats gonna be quite a bit higher so we should still be able to fly the lighter stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kettle 1 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Well we got here at 18:15 had a bath and drinking Guinness whilst reading autumn special RCME that Zero. Emm what a good model for PSS -ing. See you all tomorrow.
