Now in its thirteenth year, the Annual Grumman Fish and Chip Fly-In will be taking place once again at Welshpool over the 8th and 9th September.
Whilst things will be adjusted slightly to take advantage of (and give some business to) the new cafe at the airport, the format is essentially as in previous years:
- turn up when you like on Saturday; the cafe will open for lunches, the basic baguette/panini/sandwich/breakfasty menu is gradually being enhanced with specials as well now everyday.
- sit around and natter; those staying overnight can be ferried to and from their accommodation as required
- we'll take orders for Fish and Chips from the local chippy around 5:30pm and fetch it all about 6:30pm; we will have the option to pre-order non-fishy alternatives which will be prepared for us by the cafe
- munch food and imbibe beers, wine, soft drinks in the airport cafe or out on the decking through the evening until it's time to be ferried to accommodation.
- lifts back to the airport in the morning for departure.
Anyone who flies or is interested in Grummans is more than welcome to join us - we'd love to see some new blood in the group. PM or email me and I can provide more details.
Edited to add:
1) Welshpool's frequency changes from 128.000 to 128.005 on 1st September.
2) There is no obligation to stay for Fish and Chips/overnight; if you want to join us for just the Saturday natter please come along.
