Golding Airfield Fly-In's 2011
Stoke
Golding Stakeout 2011
August 6th and 7th
PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR NOW!!
The
annual Stoke
Golding Stakeout has grown year upon year
since the first
one we held in July 2003 when around 20 aircraft attended. In 2010 we
had well over 100 visiting aircraft and hundreds of foot visitors who
enjoyed traditional aviation at grass roots as it should be.
After
last year we realised that the
event has grown to such a size that we cannot continue to hold it on
the South side of the airfield and after a lot of discussions (and
beer) we have decided that the entire
event will
be moved to the North side where we have acres more space.
This
provides far more opportunities,
better facilities and a substantial increase in safety margins.
Hopefully this will result in a great weekend for everyone.
The
Stakeout will have the same
proven format with a full weekend fly-in, camping over, food and
refreshments both days, guaranteed weather (good), a hangar party (well
'marquee party actually!) and hog roast on
Saturday evening with live music from not one but TWO bands, The Decade
Runners and the Siberian Eel Hounds. On Sunday the enormously popular Arden
Trad Jazz
Band will do the honours along with the legendary double act
commentary of
Swain and Wakeling. Wear drab clothing and avoid eye contact with these
guys or life may not be worth living...
Everyone
is welcome, pilots, aviators
and enthusiasts... even commercial pilots are accepted......PPR please
on 07771 701498 or email via this website or call us on Stoke Golding
Radio 119.25 when you have 10 to run.
We
have some spaces for trade stalls
at very keen rates so if you would like to be part of this unique event
please get in touch by phone or email.
We
are also looking for volunteers to
help out with the event, especially setting up/breaking down and most
importantly COOKING!
No payment (the clue
is in the word volunteer) but an unforgettable weekend guaranteed!
Contact us early as the places fill quickly!
We
look forward to seeing you all in
August, don't miss it!
