FFF,
I am VERY provisional. I'll be instructing at Tatenhill, unless the weather is bad, and unless I know that in advance. I can't take the day off, because I'm taking the next Saturday off, plus Gatbash day! However, if the wx is bad, and if I know in advance, I'll leap in the car in the morning and meet you for lunch. And if that happens, I'll need somewhere to stay, and your floor will be just fine if it's available, though if not, no matter.
So, a lot of ifs, but....we'll see.

Hi Mazzy & DP and all others joining us at the Blackpool Bash......
I'm not sure how I will recognise all of you either so how about I wait outside from 11am or at least in the doorway of the Air Balloon if it is too cold, and have an A4 sheet of paper with my name on it (Elaine) and Blackpool Private Flying Bash on it?
Hope that helps, otherwise if anyone else has any ideas on how we can recognise each other (short of a rose in the mouth and meeting under the clock!!) then that will be great!
see you all on the 13th, in fact you might recognise me after all as I am on the red eye flight from stansted and may have to use matchsticks to prop my eyes open!!!
thanks

Mazzy:
Just look for the most beautiful people around! Ie:
!!!
But if that doesn't do it, here's me & Smurph:

I wanted post links to Whirly, FFF and FFF V1.2, whom I'm sure I could find images of somewhere, but I'm feeling a bit intellectually feeble today.
Will return.

Why do it if it's not fun?

Isn't the usual way of meeting PPRuNers to look for the rowdy bunch of people in the corner?
Alternatively, I will try to organise some swapping of mobile phone numbers nearer the time (via PM or e-mail). And if anyone really gets stuck, just pop into WestAir and ask for Dean (that's me...)

I like the tin of prunes idea - fantastic!
I am gonna stick a white sticker on my jacket - I am 6ft2, dark, glasses, and well built (and dam good looking)
Look out for me hehe
I will try my upmost to get there for 11am - I doubt I will go the whole hog as I am a poor student, but a trip to the fair sounds good!
Is the Air Balloon (or thereabouts) a cafe/bar inside the main terminal at Blackpool Airport? I will be there as near to 11 as poss!
Looking forward to it,
Lee

Mazzy,
No, it's not in the main terminal - it's inside the airport grounds, just outside the main terminal. Come out and look ahead and to the left, and that'll be the Air Balloon. The entrance is around the other side (facing the road).
If you're not staying for the evening, at least pop in and say Hello to me, since I probably won't be in the Air Balloon!

Well, I happened to be staying around the corner for the weekend, so I went to the Air Balloon between 11 and 12am Sat, but there was only about four customers, none of them ppruners!
Maybe next time?

Hi Penguina
I was considering Stansted Express but have decided to book a cab at 4.45am, I know its a bit pricey etc but not too keen to travel on train alone so early in the morning!
See you at the aiport, FFF has given me your moby number so I'll call / text you when I am near to Stansted so we can all meet and board plane together.
PLEASE NOTE:
If any of the Ppruners who are turning up on Saturday at the Air Balloon want my mobile number in case you have trouble finding us then please send me a PM and I will PM you back with it

Hey there, Bashers!
Very minor change of plan - have had to move dinner forward to 7pm. Tried to make it slightly later, but couldn't because the restaurant was booked up. It just means more time in the pub afterwards!
Weather for the weekend is looking good, which is good news for Dublinpilot, but bad news for Whirlybird (see you at Gatbash, though?) Bad news for me, too, but good news for my bank manager so mustn't complain too much...
If anyone wants my phone number (especially if you're only going to be able to join us for dinner, or in the pub after dinner), please PM me. Otherwise, I'll see you all there!
