john stones 1 - Moderator Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well clocks have gone forwards and I feel like new seasons here. I am club Secretary and am always looking for ideas for club nights and events. What do you folks get up to at your clubs ? We have the usual comp days quiz' auctions etc. The last few seasons meetings have been held at club field, we take orders for fish n chips, give local chippie a ring and jobs a good un(please don't rain ). attendance has increased and atmosphere is great, quick meeting then flying. Our clubs open fly ins, did not get a great crowd last year which was disappointing as the weather was good. Do you have any idea's I can beg steal or borrow to change this Thanks for any input folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Harris 1 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Club events.. Spot landings - who can touch wheels on a certain point. Balloon Popping All climb to the same height and kill engines - last one down wins. Limbo - use a tape not a bar...unless you want to! Egg dropping - simple to do - just elastic band or sellotape an egg cup to c of g - rol inverted to drop. RE - club fly ins - 1 - try not to clash with big shows 2 - promote it on here and other sites and other clubs in area - There are quite a few show pilots and teams who get fed up just having 2 slots a day at a show and who would love the chance to get together at a fly in and fly more.. 3 - show us your club site - its always nice to go somewher if the flying site is decent enough. 4 - post photos of previous fly-ins 5 - themed fly-ins - eg a scale day or learning aerobatics day.
