So not this coming summer, but there's a very good chance I could talk the wife in a trip to the UK to visit the boy the following summer.

FFFD 2011 Here I come

Wow, that would be awesome Jack.... meeting a fellow Freak from across the pond

Your lad will love Cambridge.... you must be proud of him

I am.

I have been blessed with 5 sons and I'm very proud of all of them.

Hey Jack, if ever he needs anything I only live 15 minutes up the road from Cambridge and would be glad to help him out.

Would be awesome if you can get over here for the 2011 FFFD

[mnwizard]

That'd be great!

I'm starting a stash for FFFD 2011 airfare.

Sounds good Jack, we will keep this fun fly tradition going annually for as long as humaly possible who knows how "big" it will become we already have international visitors now i ask you where else would we find people who'd make the effort required to be together for a bit of fun!
Long live the Freak is all i can say

Let me bump it now, the earlier the meeting the earlier "non islanders" have to know to make plans.

Sutty if you come check out The Red Lion Inn in Pinwall this is the B&B my Msss and I stayed, it has a pub and restaurant too and the owners where very friendly, it has my two thumbs up

[copterboy]

BUMP......Found this thread half way down page 2, and wondered if there was any progress setting a date.

Jack, would be excellent if you could make it to a FFFD I might even bring Jack Jnr to meet the man who influenced his name. I hope even he will be able to fly by then.....hhmmm that'll make him 2 and a half yrs old in summer 2011!!

So, we know the FFFD 2011 is taking place when Jacks coming over (), but have the dates for Park Hall 2010 been announced yet Grant/Alex, or do you know when they are likely to be annouced?

Once we know that date, we will know what we have left to choose from (hopefully in May ).

[mnwizard]

Just got a "we'll see dear" from my wife about FFFD 2011

That's almost all the way to an OK.

[Grant_beltcp]

22nd/23rd may sound good to anyone? Thats when the 3D scotland is going on, but I wont be able to afford to go there i'm sure by then anyway.
Sounds good Jack. No dates out yet for park hall i dont think.

[sutty]

Sounds good to me. Looking forward to that chilly spring weather already.

[lankey]

Gets a thumbs up from me

What ya on about Sutty- past three years May's been warmer than June!

[copterboy]

+1 That's good for me....but is Gerd and everybody else ok for that weekend?

Gerd said last weekend of May is out of the question for him.....so does that mean the 29th/30th, and he should be good for 22nd/23rd??

The later in May the warmer the night temperatures will be Sutty If that's the date then we should be fine!!

[lex7919]

sweet warm night temps= NIGHT flying

[copterboy]

I think watching Grant doing some 3d night flying would make me dizzy and fall over!!

Gaz and Grant's got night setup's now, so would be an added bonus for this year's FFF. Hope nitro's are allowed after dark at that club, or we'll just have to wear some very dark glasses in the daytime

Hope that date's good with you Alex (and everyone else!!)

If we goto Midlands again theres no nitro after 8pm unfortunate or not depending if your asking my 500's night blades

[Grant_beltcp]

I'm sure they will be able to make an exception!

Good question! I think I am away from 22nd to 29th May so wouldn't make that weekend. But if everyone else can make it then don't change on my behalf! Of course I would love to be at the next one but if that is the weekend when most are available then better going for it, I am sure we can arrange another one July/Aug/Sep time .

Of course we could always relocate it to Snowdon in Wales as that is where I am gonna be that week
