After I learned the date I posted a similar message (last week?) just to let people know and linked to your message at the 'other place' I'll be there but may not fly.

John Timmis Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi I fancy coming , not to fly, just for a look. Can I just turn up at the gate? Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Don't see why not. There'll be a lot there as club members who don't actually fly. Just be aware that the gate is locked normally so it's easier if you get there between 8.30 and 10 when someone will be guarding the gate (could be me). Chris is the chief organiser probably helped by Ian Redshaw (I hope) but Ian's been having an aeromodelling sabbatical this year.

ceejay Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 good to hear folks see you all on the 30th i have a question for all regarding the catering, in the past i have been ablr to scource the burgers sausages etc wholesale though a friend and butcher, unfortunately the man has retired, i know rude!! $%& so the question is do we go cheap and cheerful frozen or proper hand made butchery 1/4 pounders (they are very nice) the difference of course is cost and the hand made types will cost at least twice the price to purchase, now we dont mind as we only aim to cover costs with catering its a non profit service, so preferences please and yes we do cater for the vegimitarians too :af cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff S Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 still i have booked better for next time, goats and virgins beware :'' :'' I hope you can tell which is which Chris . Although I suppose some goats are also virgins - two for the price of one. Can't be bad. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
