Olly P Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Will have to try and get down again - much fun last year. hopefully will be about a bit more this year. Will speak to SWMBO, check the FoE (Forecast of Events), and see about coming down. Now to camp or to hotel.... Will hopefully ahve a completed webbit this year too! Might have a nice vintage wing if I'm lucky. Dave G - If SWMBO doesn't want to come along we could share transport if you want? worth it with cost of fuel as it is....Edited By Olly P on 03/01/2012 14:08:57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Posted by Will F on 02/01/2012 10:03:17:Why does this always clash with Wings n' Wheels? Yes, we have spoken to the "Wings and Wheels" people about this - but to no avail. They will keep picking the same weekend as us - silly of them really. BEB PS Olly - you've changed your avatar - again! I can't keep up!

Olly P Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 BEB - just trying to find one that stays on and is stable. the last few have reverted to the old one. I left a longer gap this time before adding the new one, and it has worked so far. besides - I like to confuse you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thank you to those who have let me know that the Greenacres website seemed to be offline. It would have to go down just after it's had a makeover and been advertised on here.Anyway, touch wood all seems to be good again.

Allan Bowker Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I didn't see the GMAC events (May, June, July) on the BMFA website. Has it been planned for GMAC to submit the details yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited By Tim Mackey on 08/01/2012 20:45:50 For anyone who has been flying for a while the test is very straight forward. You can do the test at any local BMFA affiliated club, you're allowed two goes in any one day, and there is no charge. Or there shouldn't be! Just give them a call and ask to set up a date. The A cert only needs one examiner so its not a big issue for them. Be aware though that most clubs will ask for evidence of insurance - so take along your BMFA card.

Ben B Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Is the A needed to fly at Greenacres? I'm trying to get mine organised but whether I'll manage it or not in time is the issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm afraid so Ben. It's a hard and fast rule, part of the package we have to agree on with the local council before an event can go ahead. For anyone who has been flying a while, the hardest bit of the test is organising one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi Guys, my attendance this year looks unlikely due to other commitments and SWMBO will not be moved..... Will update if that changes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi Olly That's a real shame. You'll be missed. Good luck with trying to change things, otherwise maybe see you at one of the other events or next year? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly P Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ken - there might be another major event interfering that weekend, or shortly after - and if it does I'll be away for a few months - hence she'll want me about a lot. If I can I'll slip the leash and get down..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinBell Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Had a great time on my first visit last year, will have to see if I can get down this year too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Olly, as Ken says its "early days". Take a tip from us older married men. I find that when women say "no you're not going to xyz" there is usually an implied but unspoken addendum along the lines; "not, unless you agree to this something else I have in mind as a quid pro quo..."! The difficult bit is that they are not going to just tell you what the "something" is - oh no, that's far too easy - you've got to figure it out - its all part of the game. Otherwise you see they would have to ask, and that isn't going to happen. So, you have to be very attentive over the coming days - at some point she will say something like "Do you think we could have my mother over to stay for 3 months" - don't rush your answer at this point...this is the test...the condition. If you say "I know its important to you dear, so yes of course we can" then you can book your ticket to Greenacres. Miss that window of opportunity though mate and I'm afraid its washing up from now until September. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 BEB you're as spot on as a spot on thing there! But I get the feeling that Olly's "major event" might be quite important to him. I notice he's not telling us what it is yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 BEB/Chris - Not just to me but most of the country - that's all I'm saying in public. I'll PM you both to explain. If it does happen that I can't get down I'll try and sort something with Dave G to take my Webbit down so you can all see it in the flesh....
