martinmac Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 Just found this on photobucket, my first attempt at organising a meet. What a disaster. I had been in Spain and just got back the night before. They had rough dressed the roads on the route and it hammered down with rain. Add to that Chesterfields car getting back ended. Quote
martinmac Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Thats the last bit of prep underway, new windows and a full paint job for the pub. Quote
Wasso Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 You didn't have to go to those lengths for a meet Martin Quote
martinmac Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 Anyone fancy a nice pic of their car. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Automotive-Photography-by-Damian-Hock/300567240010231?id=300567240010231&sk=photos_stream Quote

martinmac Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 I am negotiating a deal at the moment and he is keen to do some night shots. Quote

martinmac Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 I have just been talking to the guys at the parachute centre ( hic) and they have a charity pack available. If people wanting to do a jump wish to get sponsorship for a local charity I will set it up and get a justgiving site sorted. Quote
martinmac Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 The photographer will be on site for the weekend and will be bringing his printing equipment, as such he can take shots and make you a copy while you are there. Quote

If people wanting to do a jump wish to get sponsorship for a local charity I will set it up and get a justgiving site sorted. Phoned them last week for Liam and I, they have no space for Saturday so we might be doing it on Sunday. I need to phone them back in the next few days or so. Quote
martinmac Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 I will try to sort that mate. Our phone number is one digit from theirs and we often get calls saying is the jump on, I will just tell them no. Quote
ChrisS Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Cheers Martin. Hope the weather is OK and it's a go. We are both really looking forward to it. Quote

Chris`I Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Is that some sailers weather forcast in code? Cant wait for this. We have a week up in Scotland first for some bikies, then down to LakeZ then a bit more bikies before home Quote
martinmac Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 Basically we have just a little cloud to stop our skin being frazzled and the temp in the mid 20s with a very light wind. Quote
Fletch Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Still room there for me and the missus camping mate, Friday and Saturday night? Quote
martinmac Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Not a problem mate, I am looking forward to catching up. Quote
martinmac Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 To be honest Neil I have stopped looking. The confidence in accuracy is stated as very low. On some sites they give rain and wind on others its calm and sunny. I think the problem with previous years is we were stuck in a large open field at the hotel so it was not nice. This year there are so many options we shouldnt have any problems. Even if you sit in the pub with a cup of coffee or a soft drink thats not a problem. I cant visualise you with a soft drink though. The trip up on the steam train and then cruising the lake on the steamer isnt weather dependent so the options should still be good. Quote
