Re: The Sywell Strut is reforming - This Wednesday!

Very well thanks Mike! We had a decent turnout for a first meeting with 12 attending, 11 of whom were LAA members. A good mix of interests and several interesting projects underway together with microlight, permit and CofA owners - an excellent start! Next meeting will be at the Aviator - Sywell 7.3...

LAA Sywell Strut

LAA Sywell Strut held it's first meeting at Sywell last night. I'm glad to report that we had a decent turnout for a first meeting with 12 attending, 11 of whom were LAA members. A good mix of interests and several interesting projects underway together with microlight, permit and CofA owners - an e...

The Sywell Strut is reforming - This Wednesday!

Hi Folks, We are hoping to resurrect the LAA Sywell Strut! Meeting on the last Wednesday of each month at 'The Aviator' Hotel at Sywell Aerodrome, this Wednesday the 26th will be an informal 'get together' to discuss the way forward for interested parties. Although I've been charged with getting thi...

Re: Cartoonist needed

Rob, I don't know if you saw the 'Flyboy and Buzzer' cartoon used in the Homebuilders tent at the rally (showing how easy it would be to build a Groppo Trail)? These were done by Charles Richards ; an old friend and a very good cartoonist. Retired but available for cartoon work (!). He has illustrat...

Hi Gaham,
I was too preoccupied with the Rally to even log on to the forum! Glad it's gone to a deserving home.

Re: LAA Rally - Sywell Car Parking - Help Required!

I'd like to add my slightly belated thanks to Brian's! I was actually at Sywell yesterday afternoon doing a final litter pick and to see that everything had gone (it almost had). Thank you all for your help and thank you Andover Strut for your unstinting support both with parking (which you hadn't t...

Re: Jodel wing cart

Sorry Graham, been tied up with Rally matters and this had slipped my mind!

Middle Earth is Milton Keynes!

If anyone else wants this, please let it go, but otherwise I'll speak with you again when the dust settles after Sept 2nd 8)

Re: LAA Rally - Sywell Car Parking - Help Required!

Thursday morning 445 views... 1 more volunteer from yesterday's plea! Come on guys (and Gals) - two hours on one day is all we are asking; who will be today's volunteer? I've decided to put a clip board in the 'Exhibition Office' Tent which is situated on the end of Marquee 1 (Facing Lincs Aviation'...

Re: LAA Rally - Sywell Car Parking - Help Required!

Yup Ian, H&S and insurance issues! We may have to consider the Lions next year, still not free however. The issue of volunteers has always been the same sadly. So many members enjoy the rally as they did until it was canned a few years ago. Don't think we are facing that, we are in good shape, but w...

Re: LAA Rally - Sywell Car Parking - Help Required!

370 views of this post...... 7 volunteers, several of whom helped last year. I'm sure that the majority of regular viewers of the bulletin board will attend the rally this year, many of whom will stay over. A couple of hours help with car parking on a single day will help enormously and may just avo...

Re: LAA Rally - Sywell Car Parking - Help Required!

Hi Ian, no I didn't get an email; just checked including spam etc. but non! Anyway, thanks for your offer. It looks like Paul may well be co-ordinating this ( :lol: ) so I'll put you on the list with proviso that you are busy! Just in case there's a problem with my email address it's nskywrite@aol.c...

Re: LAA Rally - Sywell Car Parking - Help Required!

Thanks so much Paul, this is a great help! People, 125 views or so of this post and this is the first offer of help! Come on folks, this is YOUR Rally! It doesn't 'just happen', it takes effort all year from a team of volunteers. In truth there are probably around 10 or so true volunteers over the w...

LAA Rally - Sywell Car Parking - Help Required!

Guys and gals, It's that time of year once again! I have had offers of help from a few good folk, mainly for set-up and tear down (Thursday PM, Sunday PM). Brian Hope has been trying to find volunteers for car park duties without a great deal of success sadly. The situation is this; We are victims o...
