I've PMed Rich a couple of times about payment and not had a reply. Just after his paypal details. Anyone paid up yet?
Rich seems a bit quiet hope he's ok and just busy.

Do we have to pay already?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

I hope the big man is ok!

Rich is alive and kicking, and I'm sure will be along to update this thread soon.  Some real-life stuff is taking up all his time/energy at the moment, so the first thought is that this scales back to the "normal" meet.  £10 each for the ground, bring your own food if you want to eat etc etc.  Other things will of course remain intact, the wonderful little speed contest, whiteboard to say who flies when.

No caravans onsite BTW, I don't know if there might be a designated site nearby ?

Guessed he was busy. Would still like a tee shirt though.
How about a bursting balloons competition. Get one of those small party balloon cylinders, string tied to some weights and see if we can burst them flying under the googles?
Cheers, Mark

Hi All

Apologies, life has truly gotten in the way of my FPV and Mad Dogs. Worse still, I have some incredibly important 'life stuff' taking place on the Monday and Tuesday after the meet, so it's incredibly bad timing for me and I will need at least Sunday to prepare. A lot depends on this.

I reckon we then scale this back as Wayne says to a normal meet, and we defer the t shirts and mega camp out and feast to a later meet, when hopefully my life will be back to lamron!

Please don't pay into PayPal just yet - I will update later.

Take care and see you at MD!

Richard

Thanks for the info Rich. Hope everything is ok.
If the date is to inconvenient why not change till it's more suitable. Everyone would understand.
Kind regards, Mark

I think a date change sounds appropriate, more stress and organization is probably the least thing you could do with that weekend IMO. I`m sure no one here will mind

[rob.thomson]

Would suit me to be fair.  Current date is smack bang on my kids birthday!

Yep. I exchanged a few texts with him today about flying :) sadly I was tied up today

[DaveyLC]

Good stuff :) he's a top guy, I hope he's on the road to sorting out  his troubles :)

[Marcin_GUmeR]

I don't mind changing the date either. Do important stuff first. After all I think it's going to be more fun if everyone (especially organizer!) is relaxed and all.

[CurryKitten]

Richard just called me to say that he should be ok, and fairly sorted for the 26th April, but would like to scale it back as previously suggested to a single day Saturday event.

So this is a case of £10 to fly, we'll have the club house for electricity/kitchen/toilets.  There is a BBQ available, but bring your own food if you want to use it.

We'll be running a whiteboard to organise flying slots more fairly, and we'll still of course have a distance and fastest lap contest.

Please confirm if you want to attend, but places are limited.... and at this point I'd forgotten to check with him how many, but we normally say something like 10, but end up with a hard cut off at around 15
