[Melanie Moxon]

Can't do either of those dates as I am away that weekend

[johnm]

We won't be around early September off to Alderney again

[GrahamB]

We already have a little event which I’m committed to running at Welshpool that weekend.

[mmcp42]

I’d go to Mull!

[ArthurG]

I can't do that weeekend either.

[PeteSpencer]

Aw shucks I will be sitting on an island in the middle of the Atlantic

‘Nuvver time, eh?

[Genghis the Engineer]

I'm up for it, but 6/7 September I'm committed to something.

Realistically, these things do benefit from a reasonable period of notice.

I was originally thinking of November, and on a rolling basis of ear-marked days, and that the weather could then decide.

ie November 2, 9, 16, 23 etc, until it’s a decent VFR day.

A hard runway to litigate heavy rain preceding the event, and a cafe that can cope with a sudden influx of 40 people.

[Iceman]

A return to Leicester would seem like a good bet.

Iceman

[TheFarmer]

It’s central, with good runways and a capable cafe in terms of dealing with us.

I’ll post a firmer plan later to see if there are any adamant views between now and then...

[Iceman]

As an alternative, possibly Turweston .

Iceman

[PeteSpencer]

I’d pick Turweston over Leicester every time.
Scores on all of Farmers criteria except runways

Peter

[Iceman]

Turweston had a hard runway the last time that I looked ?

Iceman

[PeteSpencer]

Turweston had a hard runway the last time that I looked ?

Iceman

Of course it has but it doesn’t have potentially three of them to cater for all wind directions

[ChampChump]

Would a November date be a little late in the year for those aeroplanes (pilots too) that need more than an hour to get anywhere?

Sorry, it's not a good thing to post a negative thought on what is a welcome, positive thread. I was thinking of waiting for early morning fog to burn off and decreasing daylight hours & wondered if I should mention such matters.
