Brighton is 258 miles from me. A little too far I fear.

I offered to try to arrange a visit out to RAFC Cranwell in Lincolnshire, with possible tour round the College Hall Mess, maybe a chat and briefing about pilot training in the Royal Air Force, a tour round a Tucano and pictures in front of the College Hall Mess (very famous) but there were not very many takers last year....only Mal and Roger I think.

I can arrange local camping over the weekend, a clay pigeon shoot, air rifle taget shooting and boating on the river. A nice senic drive - perhaps a treasure hunt.

Hi folks

After the disappointment of not being well enough to bring my thoroughly polished '52 and bright pink tent to the National......

Yes, count me in please.

Trying to get back on track in Moggyland...

Should we plan a 'painted wellies with a moggy theme' competition?

As regards organising it..... not sure what there is around here of interest.

Sounds good to me Roger....

Hi all

We may be up for this, it's not a million miles away, it will just depend on which date, the last weekend in Sept. is better for us as I am away in Scotland the following weekend.

Sounds good Dennis - both are places on my "Want to visit list" - I passed very close to "Bentley" on Friday (delivered to Ringmer)
