[Char Bar Missing For Me ?]

OK, Donations are back - now for the shout box

***EDIT*** Looks like the chatbox might now be a paid option - certainly when I try to switch it on the forum stops working so I've sent a message to Rog asking him to take a look.

[Char Bar Missing For Me ?]

Yeah, it's definitely gone - that's what something that's gone looks like.

More seriously, it's not the only thing as the donations option has gone too which would seem to indicate that we've lost access to some of the widgets we used to use on the forum. I'm trying to find where they've gone but I suggest that a message to Rog would be a good idea as I'm not at all sure I'm going to be able to fix this with my limited knowledge.

FT - what is this backing up of which you speak?

[So...Who's up for this one?]

Hmm, well, I've been offered tickets for Goodwood for the Saturday which will need paying for so dunno, may need to bail out of this one as if I'm going to be down south anyway I could do RIAT on the Sunday. Tricky.

[So...Who's up for this one?]

Given that we’re now in April, I think we’re in a situation where this is likely to be a scrub especially as it clashes with Goodwood and RIAT.

Thoughts?

[So...Who's up for this one?]

20 hours ago, Beagle said:

After Crash, Painless and Sid talking about it this morning, it sparked my interest. The air show is probably about as far north as it’s likely to get, so maybe should take the opportunity to see it and finally meet up with some of you guys. Do you do a block booking for accommodation? I’d like to see both of the days and probably head home on Sunday evening, so Friday and Saturday night accommodation for me.

Tickets too? Or do you just grab them online when they go on sale?

We haven't block booked rooms previously, as it's a bit difficult to organise so we generally come to a consensus as to a suitable hotel and people book their own rooms - as Crash says, often we will book twin rooms and share to reduce costs, but it's up to the individual concerned.

YES! Friday and Saturday night, will probably do both show days so back Sunday evening.

Same here Chris - three years is too long between shows so will need a bigger fix this year

[So...Who's up for this one?]

Although the show is not confirmed yet, I thought it might be worth getting some idea of who's intending to get to Legends this year? Usual drill...
