Mad Dogs 4! 14th September 2013 *CONFIRMED*

[CurryKitten]

I'm a little on the fence.  The forecast BBC breakfast gave earlier was not too bad on Saturday, with horrible weather on Sunday.  But the BBC weather website now gives light rain in the morning for OX44 with it clearing around 10ish on Saturday, but the winds picking up as the day goes on.  I think I'm good for Saturday unless I get up to drive over and it's literally pissing it down.

Met check is saying rain until lunch, i wasnt going to show until 1 so it works for me still lol

[FPVSteve]

You do realise if you cancel it will be bright sunshine and 3mph winds.

[Flyboysee]

Damn right Steve!

I've had a chat to Hase and we'll both be there, building and repairing planes inside if that's all we can do so come along chaps - it won't be the usual 'organised' thing that it is, and as Steve says, weather will ironically probably be good :) 

[Randall]

Looks like the later in the day the better it is. 4pm the wind Buggers off and its just overcast.

[Coyote]

Another date would enable me to attend if it's not looking too clever

[DaveyLC]

I'm pretty sure camping is off the menu, but I'm well over for some evening pub'age after flying?

[dogzilla]

The forecast is saying that it might clear up in the afternoon with very good visibility. Personally I don't mind as long as it's not raining and the wind is under 20mph.... If we get a clear night I'm gonna be up there :)

I've got myself a 2000 lumen flashing 'beacon' just for a laugh, wonder how far away I can fly and still see it on screen :)

OFFICIAL MAD DOGS NOTAM

Sorry all, this morning I was in a despondent mood, and not just co's Ian pulled out :)

Now that I have modified my outlook on all things flying, I agree with Davey, Randall, Hase, Brucey etc that the show must go on, but with a caveat...

I will have a chat with the committee chap and let him know it's a potential wash out, but that we'd still like to use it just for tea and pee and that we will set a new date for the actual Mad Dogs Meet.

So, that means this is not MD4, but more like MD3 and a 1/2 and that all who come are welcome.

As to the tenner you've all paid - PM me for a refund, or ask for it to say in the kitty for the next one.

Great idea to support the pub if the flying stops!

I hope to see you tomorrow anyway!

Richard

[DaveyLC]

I'm coming buddy and even if I don't fly keep the tenner :)

[Randall]

I will pop along keep the tenner for next time :)

[Brucey]

The weather forecast didn't look good a couple of days ago, but now it looks like rain first thing clearing by 1000h. Sunday doesn't look good at all.

Wayne and I will be there from early so pop in anytime... Hase will be along and so will Jim so it's on as discussed!

Looking very forward to it as usual!
