Idea's for a photo shoot

[humbucker]

Depending on time date location and numbers I might be able to squeeze a club spotlight magazine feature out of this, but we would need a strong turn out of performance orientated Cavaliers. To achieve this I would suggest careful planning and perhaps putting it in the diary a few months in advance of its arrival, so that we have enough time for people to save the date in their diaries and so that we had ample time to get the message out.

First thing's first though, Nick can you ask your mate? If he has the runway open to microlites then there might be a public liability insurance question to be answered e.g. if someone has an accident then someone needs to be paying out etc and there is no way your car insurance will cover you for this haha!

Perhaps this could be our national meet, nice and central / Midlands, would be a good choice.

Let us know what he says and we'll go from there.

1/4 drags!!!!! im buying a cav just for this!!

although id love taking on daz with my current car

Haha, I was just gunna say does mine count as a performance orientated cavalier but sounds like we have a race on our hands haha!

Will be calling round at the farm on Saturday to ask.. I know of him as I know a few of the 'micro lite' guys.. You could be right about insurance issues etc? Well no harm in enquiring..

If he wants a rental fee maybe we could all share the cost...

If he says no, then its we will look at another venue....

[Lowrider Dave]

You can but ask. Would be great to start organising something now so we had something definitive to work towards, as Dan says could become an article.

[NickSRi]

Ok guys... Called round today and him and his family are on holiday and away for a further week.

So I guess I will update next week.. Had a sneaky drive up the runway though, thinking of the fun to be had

[TurboDan]

Great idea. Count me in!

[gsi pie]

[NickSRi]

the old RAF Deenethorpe

[gsi pie]

id be up for this

[Kevwaggy]

Also up for this!

[Sim Dhillon]

Count me in

I'm gonna throw this out there; if laddo does get permission for this runway it would be an ideal spot/opportunity for the first official cavmk3oc national meet?
Worth investigating camping etc nearby

[Cavalier342]

Ye, bumhugger.. (sorry meant humbucker) did already mention that.

I think it's a great idea, Top Gear have their airfield, so why not we have our own to meet up at, etc.

Make it ideal to try out those "legal" modifications, or just massive national meets.

[Kevwaggy]

Bumhooker was thinking about a magazine piece methinks, 2 birds 1 stone and all that

Ok, just had a conv on the phone with the fella... He cannot see any problems with this, however there will be a fee, he charges the Microlite club for its use and it would be unfair for us to simply 'use it' FOC (understandable). Monies received goes to the up keep of the airfield. I couldnt quite get how much it would be out of him, but he said it wont be much.. He will let me know once I can tell him how many people / cars etc are attending.

I will also need to know for how long we will use the airfield ? A few hours, an afternoon, all day ??

He also needs to contact his insurance company to see if there are any issues. If there are any races, time trails etc, that will be at our own risk!! We would have full use of the main runway and outer tracks.

I have agreed to meet him on Tuesday, so if we can all come up with numbers and times etc that will help me...

[gsi pie]

would there also be road side recovery ?

think my gsi will die going up the runway lead foot FTW

[NickSRi]

would there also be road side recovery ?

hahaha .. Can see it now.. Cavaliers with Engines Cooked

[gsi pie]

we all know one or two are going to break down

[terkin]

ill be thier if im allowed if i am, one of the breakdowns for sure

[gsi pie]

[NickSRi]

The Runway Drag Race might be a bad idea then...


We would need to lay on a coach, so we can all get home....Lol

[gsi pie]

good for rolling pics tho

[Pilky]

Do you think we should let a couple more clubs join us i.e to help with money towards the runway.

[NickSRi]

Sure, thats an idea.. Will find out the fee first..

SO... I'm guessing this will be in June/ July next year


And numbers? Shall we start off a roll call of possibles?
