Sadly I don't think I will make it this year.

I think not, and I shall suggest that no members attending the event make contact with me in the preceding month just to be on the safe sideCan the Manley Flu be transmitted that way?

Sorry to hear that also Steve, unfortunately I may be in the same boat due to personal circumstances
Oh, no!Sorry to hear that also Steve, unfortunately I may be in the same boat due to personal circumstances

Thanks Rob, but timing isn't great for me in October.

Very sorry to learn about the latest Members who may have to pass up on Doncaster this year.
Sails - sounds good as despite all of the occasions where I thought I may get a game in I have yet to play. Mostly down to my ill-health I hasten to add ...
I'll run the sails in Chris absence but here's hoping he can still make it.
See you on the Dark Side......
That's the spirit Neil Rum , Soddemy and the Lash or a bit of Gin eh Rob

I'd settle for just getting out of bed

Sounds like the way to find yourself out of bed and straight into rehab ... Without collecting Ł200 for passing Go!That's the spirit Neil Rum , Soddemy and the Lash or a bit of Gin eh Rob
If you don't mind me saying that is
I'm afraid that I don't quite understand you here old chap.That's the spirit Neil Rum , Soddemy and the Lash or a bit of Gin eh Rob
I'm having some trouble deciphering you strange turn of phrase Commandant.
Please explain yourself Paul...............What do you mean by it sir!
What exactly is a bit of Gin?

Looks like we could have a short programme then!
See you on the Dark Side......
If everyone gets completely boozed and falls asleep we will be in for a very short programme!
If this gets replied to with LIGHTWEIGHT! again like my Prague 2016 / Waking up amidst a coroners' inquest comment did I'll be laughing loudly when that appears

The tablets I'm on are going to severely cut down my intake of G&T this year.
Unlike last years healthy consumption, I'm limited to about two doubles now before I fall over.
It's just a good job Kyte is not subjected to these strictures by the MO.
Cheers!!

Same restrictions apply even though my meds have changed over Sir. Until I remembered how healthily used the helicopter landing area at SYAM is by our caravanning / camping Members I thought that there is always one thing which could lengthen the programme and wake us all up from a drunken slumber.
DROPPER CHOPPER. Or somebody we know from Chopper Squad could always drop in and pay us a visit. Subject to operational requirements SY99 would be perfect - this is still an MD-902 Explorer and I believe David Whistance is now one of the senior pilots with SY Police Air Support. But should the landing area be obstructed nobody is likely to chance a landing there - it's tight enough to land at SYAM as it is.
Never arranged a D/C there before but actually took part in one at Winthorpe Aerodrome / Newark Air Museum towards the tail-end of 2008. This was a fun exercise and the shop staff admitted that because they saw a yellow helicopter landing that it may have been Prince William ... Nope only me waiting for a lift two hours later and dropping in from Wickenby. EC135P2 aircraft then flew D-> North Weald in Essex courtesy of other guys from HeliEurope on board
Now I know we can use the fridge - there is no excuse not to have it crammed with beer....Cheers everyone... (unless of course I am regimental taxi driver in which case it will be water and decaf tea.. sigh !)
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
The sacrifices we have to make for our country Squadron Leader. Decaf tea ug!

Well, well, well. Should not we think of taking slots for the games we plan to run/participate in? If so, let me ask for a table for up to 8-player WGS very historically based game I would like to organize and run.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Going to start a new thread shortly with the programme etc.
See you on the Dark Side......
Good idea Neil, will it be in the UK wing section?

End of next week for new Doncaster thread confirming games, slots and open for players to book slots.
See you on the Dark Side......
Hey chaps - just a thought... how about we have a Bring and Buy table at our get together - after all we are all similarly interested and we usually peruse such tables with much interest at the various shows... might be worthwhile? we could always donate 5 or 10% to either the museum or the lend lease?
What do we think?
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
I'm good for that Chris

Not a bad idea Chris although as a hoarder I don't like to let anything go. I've still got 25mm Napoleonics which have not seen the light of day for over 30 years.
By the way is there a list for the Saturday night dinner? I trolled the threads and not found one.
I am with Paul whatever the Bring and Buy table idea is (my English!I'm good for that Chris) - it sounds nice.
If that could help to promote the game or help any Community member to join the show - I am in.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Bring and buy means you bring and donate items for other people to buy, any money going to in our case the Lend Lease for example.I am with Paul whatever the Bring and Buy table idea is (my English!

popular with schools and Church Fetes.

Does it mean an offer aimed at a general audience coming in, Paul?
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Not as things are at the moment Andy.
We do so many shows in the year that this is really one for us to relax at like Prague.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
As you wish, Sir.
[You are right about relax - that we all need every now and then]
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
As Rob said its a chance for us to offer and buy items with the profit going to the Drome . That is with the exception of the stotties and pease puddin which is ours ( assuming Neil is still up for it ) our special treat.
