Thank you to everyone who attended this years opening Charmouth. The weather was kind to us at last and resulted in nearly 200 pilots booking in and flying over the 2 days. We hope you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to seeing you again in the Autumn, the dates for which we can confirm as being the 5th and 6th October. Please find some important information regarding this, and future events, below:
1) Chris Newby left his starter (Sullivan) at the field on Sunday evening, and it wasn't there when he returned to collect it. If anybody has seen it, or has information on where it may be, please let Chris (or ourselves) know.
2) Newlands has received a complaint regarding somebody flying a helicopter in the early hours of the morning (approx 2am) by the caravans. Please understand there are other holiday makers staying at the site and pay them some courtesy and respect. We have a good relationship with Newlands and silly antics could cost us our event. We all want to have fun and a good time but we should do so in a way that is not going to cause disruption to others.
3) Despite the torrid past 6 months of near constant rain we did manage to get the majority of people in and out of the field successfully. However please realise that we are not miracle workers and this is an event which is held in a field, in England. If it rains the ground will get soft and there is precious little we can do about that. Whilst cars and small vans had no trouble in the field it was clear it could not support the larger vans and mobile homes. Hopefully we will have a reasonable summer this year which gives the field a chance to drain and revive itself. If however we endure another wet summer then we may have to enforce entrance restrictions (cars and small vans only) at the October event. We hope this won't be the case but will review things nearer the time. We will ensure to communicate any decisions as widely and clearly as we can so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible.
Many Thanks
The AHA.
