South west Breakfast club AV8 cafe

[Vantage man]

I meet with the management of the Kemble airport this afternoon and they are very keen to have us back. They will make the car park to the front of the AV8 cafe exclusively for our use and I propose that we stick to the last Sunday of the month which is the 27th May meeting at 9:30.

There are a number of other things that they will do for us. Firstly photography locations. I had a tour of the airfield and there are some fantastic locations such as underneath a 1960s 747. The cars would look great there. If anyone is interested that could be arranged.

They have also offered to show the British Grand prix, they have a large tv projector for this and if we can get enough people we can get a barbecue for that as well.

Finally a number of F1 teams test there, Force India are testing on 17th May anyone who is interested can go and watch. Apparently this happens every month with different teams !

If anyone is interested in the above events maybe we can chat on 27th May

Fabulous news, thanks for taking the trouble.

I'm away 27th May but up for the British GP and popping up to see/hear an F1 car

ETA Just checked and I'll miss the GP too

Sounds great
I'm also away on the 27th, but the british GP and maybe seeing an F1 car sounds good

[Shewie]

Thanks for sorting this out. Great work. Hopefully should be able to make the 27th. Must say the Force India testing on the 17th sounds interesting, may pop along for a nose about.

[Dodd90]

Would be rude not to make the 27th with the effort you've made good work!!

[miniman]

Fantastic, really good to hear about the photo locations and GP coverage. Am away this month but definitely up for June and the GP.

[IrateNinja]

Photo locations and F1 showing sounds great. I'll keep an eye on this as I'd like to come along on the 27th.

Sounds great! Since you are obviously really good at organizing could also make it fine and sunny too please? I'll be there if I can!

Cheers

[MrBigley]

Well done that man!

pbishop100 and myself have been to them all since the start, so it would be rude not to continue after all your efforts.

[Dilligaf10]

In the diary already, got to break my PH Event duck!

[dwootton]

Yep, see you on the 27th

[benjiegsi]

I'll be there for the 27th meet.

[RB Will]

will hopefully be around on the 27th

[LordGrover]

Hope to join you for 27 May.
Nice work.

I should be able to make this in plane or car . On another note sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there are rumours going around that Kemble may close down in the future to be built on........ May be an idea if everyone keeps their eyes out for somewhere else to hold this in the future if the rumours are true!

They have only recently rebranded the airfield and I believe that Lufthansa have a fairly long term contract there for training purposes so would hope it is not in the immediate future.

[TorqueVR]

The 27th should be OK for me

[Vantage man]

Thanks everyone for your support on this. The 27th may it is. I will post a few more details on here nearer the date, ane will try and sort a sunny day

[dereksharpuk]

Sadly Sunday May 27 is the day of the PCGB Cotswold Rally so I won't be able to join you.

[lankybob]

Big shame, Peterborough Regatta is this weekend!
I will have to keep an eye out for future meets, pictures with a 747 would be fantastic!
Highflier, this place would be good for you and Mr. Keith!
