Port Charlotte Fun FLy

[SteveL]

Great News
CRCS The club that has hosted the event for the last 2 years has teamed up with our brother club to put the event on at their field. For those of you that don't know we lost our field and are in the process of negotiating another site.
As always, there will be a Free T-shirt to all preregisters and 3 separate flight lines.
More Details to follow.

NEW VENUE CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gentlemen,

Well I received word today, that we have a confirmed location for the fun-fly. We would like to thank the Charlotte Sport Modelers Society for their hospitality in allowing us to use their field on such short notice. Details are as follows.................
There is no address to the site, however directly across the street is the Peace River Water Supply and their address is: 8998 SW County Road 769. (Also know as Kings Highway) Exit 170 off I-75 head
North-Northeast on Kings Highway . You will pass a super Wal-Mart store on the west side of kings hwy. as you exit 1-75 heading northeast approx. 5 miles to the flying site. Also the GPS coordinates are
N27 º 5.536' W82º 0.271' I will be posting hotel information, shortly, and I do believe that we will be blocking a bundle of hotel rooms, and will be available on a "first come, first serve" basis. More information to follow. Again, all questions, concerns may be directed toward myself, Rob Giles(586-806-1109)robgiles@wowway.com , or to Paul Giles(586-634-6461) or 941-235-9282 after December 29th. Hope you all have a great holiday season, and we look forward to flying with you all.

Looks like I will be there, with the normal traveling group, as many as we can fit in the van and still have room for Wings.

[ErichF]

I got my room at the Hampton Inn, already have a roommate. Another is welcome if you don't mind the floor. Or you really like Rolando :shock:

[Foxden]

AWESOME Rodney,

This one is shaping up to be better than last years, if that can happen, SteveL. and Paul put on a top notch event.

Bring them T-Rexs, this field is already set up with pylon race poles, better bring some Flight Power pack to keep up :badair: man they make the little rexs eat some sky :wink:

Evidently the Florida branch of the "Freaks" is a little tighter community than I thought. :wink:

[Rodney]

[BigVanVader]

Ummm..."tight" might not be the appropriate word to use....lets say "close" :lol:
