Todays Meet

Hows the weather looking for today and this afternoon/evening in Rhyl?

It's very wet at the moment, forecast is to clear later, what time are you expecting to leave, I'll update just before you set off

Rain has cleared up from the bay.... but theres no wind and I was due at the orme
I may yet be at the field to eat all the burgers

well i would be leaving at bout 5pm from stoke

Still lashing down in Rhyl

Rain at Prestatyn too last day in work for 2 week so hope weather picks up got lots of flyin i wona do

I still cant believe that there is no club nearer for you Gary - obviously, we are very happy to have you on board, but it just seems unlikely that we are closest.

i have a static caravan in rhyl so down that way anyway and like i said the ones here in stoke are either crap or closing down

Fairysnuff

Used to be a good power club in or near Congleton just over the Cheshire border from S.O.T. unless that too has gone down the pan. Not trying to put you off from joining us Gary but a 140ml round trip every time you want to fly I would find a little off putting personally.

I am sure there is one near Stockport/Poynton fixed wing and helis

Suns starting to break through, if Gary wants to join the best club in North Wales, I'll have his money

Ah, so thats how you fund the hobby Rich .
By name and nature eh

well if the people are friendly, the area good and the club not too expensive join i dont mind the travelling so rhyl is good all round for me, just need sort out a plane and stuff now

Hi guys, a weather updated from out of the office window in St Asaph looking over towards the fueld. The sun is out, the wind is at about 10mph, and the cloud cover is about 5/8 cumulus with a small amount of altostratus visiblke in some of the clear patches....

Andy

Just as I thought

Not gonna be able make it today guys sorry, weather not looking too good an also seen some kit on eBay that may get so fuel money to Rhyl would help towards kit but will be down not this weekend but following weekend hopefully with some kit too

Gary,

Just to say there is an Aerotow event at Rhyl field on Sunday 14th August, so not much chance of flying on the Sunday unless you have a glider with a tow release, although you are more than welcome to attend Saturday to fly.

Yeah that's fine

You are more than welcome to come across for the sunday too, if the weather is decent there is usually a good turnout and some really nice models to see flying, last year I spent a large portion of the day just watching instead of flying!


Andy

Oh, and a weather update. Wind is currently at about 10-12mph WSW, cloud cover is about 5/8 cumulus. Nice and warm outside too....

Andy

Just in from the orme - turned out to be superb sloping conditions, with bright dry blue skies, and 28MPH westerly bang on the main slope.

We had a good eat! Well done Rich.

Most flew too

Someone mentioned Stubbsy left his fob again, in the rush to get away

Crap! - missed the barbie too!
