St Asaph Fayre - Sunday 17th August.

HI Folks,

We have been asked to put on a small display at the St Asaph Fayre again this year. It is on a week Sunday (17th August). I believe the format will be the same as last year, so turn up around 9.30 ish, and fly stuff throughout the day, and chat to anyone interested.

We are sorting out the preparations for the flying strip there, and it is looking likely that the strip will be a lot better prepared than last year (to be confirmed though!).

However, I know some of the usual suspects have prior engagements this year, and can't make it. So, I'm trying to get an idea as to how many people are going to be able to attend for the day. It doesn't have to be to fly, having some models for static display, or help to talk to the public would be useful. If people can post on here and let me know, I would be grateful.

Cheers
Andy

Sorry as you know Im otherwise engaged that weekend so will not be attendidng,

Aye, have fun writing off the Dogfighter!

I've just spoken to the organisers, and we can expect a properly mown strip this year, approx 25m x 8m or so. We will be in pretty much the same place as last year, with a fence between us and the public.

If anyone has any gazebos in case of inclement weather, and tables to bring too, we can do with those!

Cheers
Andy

Me going

yeah we'll go Andy. got a gazebo with sides etc.

I'll be there with a selection of models

No generator unfortunately. I can supply a monitor & laptop for a simulator if someone could find a generator

More people the merrier!

Bring both flying and static models please

Also tables and chairs would be good

I have a copy of the site plan and will email it to anyone that wants it

Assuming the weather is good enough then I will attend - maybe I could cadge a lift with allan or steve ? I'll bring me favourites so not bothered about the strip

Yes. That would be fine Tim

Well I was think of taking the Wilga so an aerotow would be on Tim

Good stuff. Don't forget any tables and chairs and gazebos, the more the better! Especially if the weather is less than perfect.

Andy

If anyone can find a generator....

I've one on my van 650w do telly etc

Ok. Then I'll bring a laptop etc for a flight sim

Hopefully will bring along my Huey 205 Turbine heli subject to flight testing tomorrow after a complete rebuild recently.

For anyone who wants to bring gazebos, tables, chairs and the like we have access to the site on Saturday. Winds are forecast to be light so we could put them up on the Saturday. Site security should be fine but obviously best not to leave planes, txs, etc there overnight

Should be able to make it & will bring something for flying & static.

Sorry can't make it, prior engagement.

Afraid to say I will now not be able to attend - blame Zaid   

We need a good turnout for this one! If you can make it then please do. Even if only to spell others for an hour or so

Just back from a long meeting with the Rotary Club organisers. From our perspective little has changed from expectations. Those who want to drop off heavy or bulky items such as tents, tables, gazebos etc can do so on Saturday. They will have a big presence there all day (and will serve food later on). I'll see if the long lost tent I have in the loft is still usable and will bring that to store stuff in overnight

They do need everyone, including us, set up by opening time which is 10.00 on Sunday though we can largely organise ourselves. Obviously not all of us will be arriving first thing on Sunday

We are located just about the same place as in previous years

Our parking is in the flying field. We get to it by driving in the entrance then down to the bottom of the site - this access road is now on the opposite side of the site to last year, urn right across the base of the site and into the flying field. Right again to bring vehicles up to our location. They are intending to make a step over the fence for us. This should work very well IMO

The field has been cut for hay so is fairly short already. They are intending to mow it to final length for us and I've asked for this to be as short as poss

There will be plenty of food on site, including a breakfast on Sunday

Lots of models of all types wanted! Gazebos, tables, chairs etc etc

Have a good show guys, sorry I cant be there

Tim, Gents

If we finish early enough I am happy to come, will have few UAVs in the Car and the can go on display or fly some of them ! in fact if I can fit a heli I will bring on too.

good stuff Zaidy, "B" test required to fly at a display unless you are flying under a different guise.....!!!!!!! ie S**LarkAP

ah well you can do the test on site then !! ;-)

I can't take a "B" for multi, has to be a chief or heli examiner as lead
