john stones 1 - Moderator Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Clubs thinking of holding a weekend Fly In, and I thought I would ask Is there any interest ? Doncaster South Yorkshire. We shall be putting all Covid measures in place, and if we hold one, we shall give details. No A Cert required, be insured and have proof please, no flying fee and some camping available. Dates not decided yet, just wanted to see if there's interest first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 john Be aware of the new Covid 19 rules being applied in many Northern areas from midnight tonight. I suspect it will make the 2 m social distancing rule ever more important as well as having contact details for all attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 John It looks like there will be a considerable blow on Saturday (40 mph gusts!) although hopefully a bit calmer on Sunday. Will have to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cripps Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thanks, John. I thought it was but it's been a few years since I last visited. By the way, that was the day Dave Johnson flew the big Lancaster and lost a wheel during a touch and go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 That was a while ago Nick, remember cars pulling up on roads watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Weekend fly in, postponed sadly, forecast not great, if rain misses us the gusty winds won't. Be rearranged for September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 John That's a pity. However if the weather is kind in September I can bring a really big Depron one, and a bin bag, as it will also be its maiden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
