Would have loved to have joined in, but Mrs Buns will be getting a "sun fix" [8D][8D] in florida at the time.

Distinct possibility - again, depends what day we're talking about. Satdi or Sunday would be best for me (midweek is a bit dodgy)

Is there a bar?

Cheers

Michael

well if you love airshows, then the 24th and the 25th are for you, the aunderland international(?) airshow is on the same weekend (stupid idiots at council, putting it on the same weekend as farnborough)

I was thinking the weekend - either day is fine by me..
yes mcuth there IS a bar!!

Jolly good
I should be ok for the weekend.....

Cheers

Michael

Aaaagh, just realised that I have a prior appt on the morning of the 25th - tut! So, the Satdi's the only good day for me. [V]

BTW, making this "sticky" so we don't lose track since it was down to page 3 [8D]

Cheers

Michael

Right how's the saturday (the 24th July 2004) for everyone?
There DO seem to be group rates if we get to 20! so as soon as I get firm numbers I can look at booking so far these people have expressed interest:

me;)
HighFlyer
Nottingham Nick
mcuth

Come on the rest of you! theres planes and stuff!

hmm that group discount (5%) is looking a bit optermistic!!
for those that haven't looked ticket prices are £20 for admission and optionly £9 for grandstand seats

Unfortunately off on hols that weekend! VS naturally:)

Would have loved to come - haven't been for about 15 years!

I'll be in SFO, and I wouldn't go anyway, the best airshow in the world is on at the same weekend

I think it should be open for partners too (even though I'll be alone ), should be a good day out for all the family

Cheers

Michael

This is a social so all are welcome!!

although you should warn people that a high level of VS related chat is likely!:D

I just updated my initial post with interested ppl!

Come on everyone im sure we can get more than 5 ppl!!

Are we all still on for this next Saturday? Any other folks wanting to join in are more than welcome - get your names on this thread

I see the advance tickets are now only available from the gate and some dodgy newsagent in Hampshire ! Need to start thinking about times to get there and meeting places etc...

Cheers

Michael

Yeah im still up for next week
the jetlag monster should have gone by then!

Ok, I know Nick can't make it, so we got:

Jonathan
HighFlyer
Me
pegitt

Come on folks - must be more than just us wants to go look at planes all day (ummm, ok, that makes it sound a bit sad ). Ideas on the best way to get there? Opens at 0930hrs, so best times for arrival? Is there a local cafe we could meet for brekkie?

Cheers

Michael

Pencil me in - I went last time round and it was fantastic!

I'm on call for a while now and depending on how things go with our systems during the week, I may need to be around Sheffield at the weekend so won't be able to confirm until nearer the time.

Regards,

Sahajesh

Good stuff Sahajesh. I can quite understand the on-call stuff - luckily I don't have to do that anymore

Cheers

Michael

I can't really knock it, helps pay for holidays

Sahajesh

my mate will be coming with me
