We took a trip to Forbes last weekend to meet the guys at the Forbes Aeroclub.
We were greeted with open arms. The airport is a four an a half minute drive
from town. The guys really want to help us make this event work.


We stepped out the launch area which they will grade for us soon so that the
native grasses can grow before the summer. They will be clearing out a hanger
(pictured far left) so Bill can house the six tugs during the meet.





We will be able utilize the clubhouse for task setting. And they will loan us
the four wheelers for dolly retrieve. The meeting with the guys left us really
excited.






The weather was awesome; it was a relief to get out of rainy Sydney. Mid winter
and the cu's were popping by eleven am!


We met with the new owner of the 'Van' and he was happy for us to use the
function room as our headquarters once again. The pub has been renovated and
looks and feels great. They still have accommodation upstairs for A$20 per night
per person twin. Email:

not only camping (Powered site $22/night for 2 people) but ensuite villas
(A$90/night for 2 people) and Ensuite cabins (A$75/night for 2 people)
