Winter FPV Meet - Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[Flyboysee]

Guys, all you gotta do is keep this thread alive - 'Build it and they will come!'

FYI this is the spot https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en Enlarge the map and go down Rectory Road, it's the Playing Field with club house and tennis courts on it. If anyone who was there can do a Google Earth link that would be better.

Here are the vids from the last meet for those who weren't there - big fun!

Hi

OK, right so we need a date.

I was thinking one of two things. Either we wait for the snow to arrive which will make it completely mental and epic in terms of footage, though access may be a problem, or... (sucking thumb)

Good point, I'd say pay 48 hours before once we know we have a good weather window. That way we can cater for the right number of people and I'd rather people commit that way, than people decide on the day if they're not coming and we've over catered.

As with the meet we've just had, the facilities will be rented to us for £80 - £100 for the day. It has his and hers loos, a kitchen, and open plan seating area that we could use for eating, drinking, chilling and watching flights from the video stream on a big screen.

I will turn the big shower room into a hangar for plane set ups / repairs with tables and chairs (last time even with 7 flyers the main room got a bit cluttered with planes and gear) and power for charging etc.

We'll put on a brunch and afternoon lunch and have the biscuits, coffee, tea, hot choco and Gluhwein running all day.

We'll need two or three volunteers to each bring an electric heater to keep the club house warm.

Cool Gav, you're on the committee, congratulations, you are henceforth deputised!

A projector will be fantastic. I'll do the AV set up the day before and arrange a high mast for vrx's etc. Perhaps you'd like to stay over the night before? We'll host you!

Three and a half hours for me...hmmm

[CurryKitten]

I'm in, day pass granted :D

[FPVSteve]

Steve are you comming down?

Nah bit far for me this time mate, hopefully next year. I will be at the Doncaster meet on 25th November though that TeamFTP is kindly hosting :D

[krikey]

I'm game. I have a projector too if required and one of those halogen heaters that will help, so I'll bring that along. I've got some screens (2) that can also be used but normally a good white wall is fine.
