There seems to be quite a few peeps on here now in the UK.. I was thinking of sorting a meet/mindmelt/flying weekend.. Would anybody be interested?

I have a great place to meet and fly in Lancashire so this is where I would be organising it at

Dave

No Reason why our members cannot come from over the channel either as there are great transport links close by!

And of course to meet like minded people.....now we would need dates so that the mrs can book time off of work.

Sounds great,everything I have learned in the past few months has come off the net.It would be nice to learn off real people and see what sort of setup everyone has.

I'd love to come but it's a 10 hour round trip for me from Reading...not to mention £200 in fuel :eek: I will have to give this one a miss, but feel free to make the next one further down south :)

We did actually have one down here a couple of months ago. It was very successful, even though the weather was horrid.

Postcode L40 8JY for the meeting place. Its a large commercial unit I have for work which has a meeting room and room to fly indoors if necessary (demonstration purposes only). I also have access to bigger units if the weather is really crappy which could give a bit more elbow room!

Gunter.. the reason for posting early is there may be potential for car sharing..

We have access to two major airports Manchester (40mins / Liverpool 40 mins if your MR will get you here then Woodvale or we could get landing permission for micro lites on site!

Two main line train stations within 20 mins with links to Burscough train station. Ill post a suggested date when I have a few mins but end of middle / end of october ish

Dave, is that an old airfeild just south of the industrial estate I see? So if the weather is good (fingers crossed), what area can we fly outside?

Yep old airfield. I will try and get permission very local... like walking distance to a field next to the Park but if not I have a 15 acre flying area with fishing ponds and a MX course on it which will make good practice ground for filming moving target! Its about 10/15mins drive away.

Dave

The google maps pic is OLD.. The new estate is the area where it says drivewise contracts and now looks like this

True...I have a big 7 seater and trailer, kit could go in there. If there are 5 others from down here that would be willing to share petrol costs it would be worthwhile.
