Nick Cripps Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Great, I was wondering if there were any planned for this year. I hope to get there one of the 2 days, John. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarlyBird Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 12 minutes ago, Nick Cripps said: It would be good to meet up with you and to see the finished model. I'm not sure which day I'll go yet, it really comes down to which has the better weather forecast so I'll make the decision later in the week. It's a bit further for me from Nottingham but only takes an hour. I know I started it here but we should probably move this discussion onto the Don Valley thread... Your wish is my command?

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sunday looking best at present, our local met site is pretty good, will give updates nearer the weekend. Looks like landings will be from open side of field, that gives better approach and more field to get your model in. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cripps Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Well, I was planning to do my local parkrun on Saturday and go up to Don Valley on Sunday but I can move things around and come Saturday instead, I guess. I'll do the run at Cusworth Hall on the way and see you about 10 o'clock - I'm looking forward to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 A good day thanks John. I didn't need to shout up as your team volunteered their services helping me unload and set up, much appreciated.
