 SAT 5th May
Popham Microlight Trade Fair
Popham is the first main fly in event of the year with plenty to see on the Microlight front. Many of the main aircraft manufacturers will be there demonstrating their aircraft. Just North of Southampton its location provides a good starting point for a Bank holiday fly out to the Isle of Wight and then possibly on to Salisbury and the many ideally located airfields in that area.
SAT 7th July
Headon Fly-In & Hangar Bash
Headon Fly-in and open day. Hopefully we will get a nice day and lots of Microlight activity. A chance not only to meet other Microlighters but for members of the public to come along and see what Microlighting is about and even take a trial flight. We will be pleased to discuss any queries you might have about gaining a licence and taking part in the sport. Many different types of Microlight AND Light Sport aircraft will be on show. Soft drinks and a Barbeque will be available.
The day will start off around 13:00 with the fly-in. Tickets for the evening bash will be £5.00 and will be available in advance or on the night.
The hangar Bash will start around 20:00 with food available, a licensed Bar and plenty of good live music from the Storm Beats. Back by popular demand.
Camping is available and bacon butties will be available the next morning.
Our nominated charity this year is the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance. A service we hope that we will never need but if they are needed they do an invaluable job. So come along, have a good time and help us to raise some money for a good cause by making it a success.

Blois 2012
A trip to France and one of the main European Ultralight events of the year. The Blois Ultralight festival.
A feast of activity with plenty to see on the European Microlight front. We plan to fly there the day before on the Friday, take in the event on the following day, Saturday. Then fly over to the coast at La Baule for the Saturday evening and spend the following week all along the west coast, Brittany and the Normandy beaches. Returning home for the following Friday.
These are just a few of the main flights planned for the year. Undoubtedly there will be many day and weekend trips organised by individual members. Fly-Ins, Barbeque’s etc. Why not come and see us sometime. Either fly in or drive over and meet some of our members. |
