Re: Ponte 2023 .....It's on !
It's a five hundred mile round trip for me. One of the two models I was building for the event is built and ready for a test flight. The other should be finished tomorrow, with a following wind. It's touch and go whether I'll manage to get a test flight in on Friday morning. I'll be there though, whatever happens, even if I don;t get to fly.

Jim/Phil (?) There will be a few staying over, not sure how many but I've had a few camping queries
We usually start with Shauns briefing around 9:30 to 10 ish, safety in a public park, boundaries, etc
Theres "Junction 32" outlet nearby which has everything you could possibly want, also a MacDonalds opposite, chippies, pubs... and we will have nibbles & drinks on sale in the car park
Cheers
Phil

Hi Jim,
Yes camping is free. There will be a few caravanners and a t least one fellow modeller in a tent. There's a toilet on site.
When were you planning to arrive?
Food will be cakes and soda, tea and coffee on Sunday. There's a MacDonalds a short walk away and pubs close by.
Rgds,
Shaun.
Oops just read Phil's post.

Hi Shaun
I expect to arrive Saturday morning by 09:30 as long as I don't get stuck coming up the A1.
I'm bringing a tent and hopefully stop until Sunday afternoon.
See you Saturday

Re: Ponte 2023 .....It's on !
Even though the weather forecast is not ideal for this weekend at Ponte, the retro meeting will go ahead regardless, there maybe just be a little more talking and slightly less flying
Some of us have already arrived in Yorkshire for the weekend and have travelled a considerable distance, so it would be a complete waste not to meet up and admire the work of others, be it the workmanship of their models, converted transmitters or new-build retro radios.
So I'm looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow!
