October 27-29 is IRCHA SE.....might want to take that into consideration when planning the dates.

[Mike Fortin]

Thanks for the heads up Vance, I don't want to have the events to close together.

[capebob]

No! No! No! October Miami helicopter events are hurricane magnets. :lol:

I can be there no matter what date.

[SteveL]

I am with Bob. I think December would be good

[Mike Fortin]

If you guys are down for December I think that would be awesome! Bob can bring the Hot Chocolate and we already know Steve is a marshmellow!

X-mas in Miami!

[Rodney]

Better be real early in december or really really late.

I am not sure how many would go to an event that is held between Thanksgiving and New Year's. I know that is why the Tangerine event finally died off. Years ago it was one of the biggest events of the year for Pylon, Pattern, Helis and couple more parts of the hobby. It started running each weekend around the first of Dec and ran till New Years. Attendance started dying off and then the event died.

I know personally for me, Thanksgiving to New Years I spend almost all that time every weekend visiting with family.

Just a thought. I am not trying to discourage the event. Just trying to add something to consider.

[Rodney]

I agree David. You might get the club members and maybe me but nobody north of that Im sure

[Mike Fortin]

Well its something to consider. I'd like to just have a laid back event where we can get in some good flying and some great food.

Maybe we can even exchange gifts?

[Mike Fortin]

Dates Confirmed for the event will be December 8th, 9th and 10th!

Vendors are welcome!

Electricity on-site!

Also, the field just got outfitted with a weather station and WI-FI for instant weather on-line!

[SteveL]

Be sure to bring flyers to PG for the people who don't surf the forums

[Mike Fortin]

I'll be sure to spread the word!

Now, if I only knew how to make flyers! :oops:

[Mike Fortin]

We'll the X-Mas Fun-fly has it's first sponsor of the event!

A big thanks to www.SouthEastRC.com

[Mike Fortin]

You can add www.ReadyHeli.com to the list of event sponsors!

Thanks Bill and Jen!

[Mike Fortin]

You can now add RED BULL Energy Drink to the list of sponsors!

[Mike Fortin]

Still planning the event and it seems to be getting bigger and bigger!

Hope many of your Florida pilots can make it!

[Clintstone]

Anybody from the north going?

[SteveL]

I think this fell thru. I think we are just planning a gathering (Florida term for Invasion.) on Sunday.

[Mike Fortin]

Yes, we have moved this event north to Lake Placid. Looks like its going to be a great turnout with folks from the North and South.

X-Mas Invasion! :glasses2:

[Rodney]

I am confusssseeedddd. Mike there are AMA rules as to what you call an EVENT. We call them Gatherings as to wqe do not sanction them with the AMA. We are all safe people and we have a good time.

[BobbySmith]

Looks like it is going to be fun!!!!

[BigVanVader]

Come on down Clintstone.....you'll fit right in....it is called a "turkey" gathering :lol: :mrgreen:

[Clintstone]

I should be in the area on Friday.................don't think I can stay till Sunday.
