Big John has excelled himself by coming up with a superb location for us to camp and fly at Easter...for FREE...I like!
A whole Airfield is at our disposal!! ;D
His old friend Ray Brignall is the curator of the Brenzett Air Museum: www.brenzettaero.co.uk/ at Romney Marsh in Kent. He is more than happy to let us have the showground for free over the Easter weekend.Collin

Count us in, Duchess will love it.
I expect Michael & Linda would like to come as well
Would this not be a great location for Simon to teach those wishing to learn, how to fly the big inflatables?
Off to buy some easter eggs unless Collin is giving them away FREE ;D
regards
Dave

I will not guarantee being there until much nearer the time as Easter is very early next year the weather could be iffy and being a real camper (under canvas) the cold and wet, could well put me off.
The site sounds great and would love to come so lets hope for a early spring/summer next year.
As for training there as I can not guarantee being there I can not guarantee running it so will not advertise the dates.
Also a odd day here and there would be better and far less stressful than having to do 3 days of teaching while other have fun. I am sure that someone will want to do it on each of the days as they have plans for the other days and get upset if we don't run it.

Its about 8 months away....I asked Big John to post it up early in-case it clashed with anything else next year. Last year, those that came in April 6/7/8th. will remember how unusually HOT it was, it was more like summer than the so called summer we have had this year!!
Obviously a case of wait till nearer the time. Having moved on from 'stone age' camping I was pleased I didnt have to use my central heating, so saved a little on the gas.
I will be selling Easter eggs to the children, so parents please bring extra money to keep the kids happy. ;D And if everyone could abstain from giving kids Easter eggs for FREE that weekend, I would appreciate it.

I do understand that although Collin is selling easter eggs as a gesture of good will.
He has offered not only to sell eggs at a very small profit but also to give some away as well, all you need to do is either.
1. Proof that you were born after Jan 1st 2007 and be able to climb the steps to his camper and ask for one.
2. Be over 75 and have both your parents with you who can climb the steps to his camper and ask.
Such generosity Collin will do your reputation no good at all.

lets think about that for a miniute
think think think think!!!!!!!!!!!!
must be able to climb the steps to his camper............ and be small enough not to be seen
ask for one........ with big sparkly eyes and a big sweet smile
have both parents with them.................. to distract colin so that someone could get them
i wonder who could do this.................. and take no notice of anything he says unless being given chocolate
i think i might know someone who could do all that
