Pigz-A-Fly-in

O.K. everyone, we have the event sanction in hand for The Pigz-A-Fly-in!

Date : Saturday June 20, 2009
Time : 09:30-16:00

Directions: http://www.doukeniewinery.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&page_id=19&CFID=228905&CFTOKEN=19901398

Doukenie Winery asked that we guarantee a large number of flyers from noon until 16:00, as that is when they expect most of their clients.

The winery is having a pig roast that day. NVRC will provide drinks (non-alchoholic only :'( ), but at this time food purchase will be up to you. If that changes, it will be posted here.

I have one large cooler I can put drinks in, but need one or two folks to volunteer to each bring one so we will have plentiful supply of cold drinks.

I will also need one or two folks to help with set-up around 08:00 (caution tape barriers, etc.) Please let me know if you can bring a cooler or help set up.

Based on last year this is a great family event.

The field is a bit rough, so I recommend larger aircraft or hand-launched. I have talked to the manager about trying to get the field cut lower than last year, and will be meeting with her the week of the event to get a basic field laid out. (as a note, my 25 size cub was able to take off last year, but took some effort).

Here are some basic event rules:

Have Fun!
NO NOISY PLANES. We are guests of the winery and are trying to make this an annual event, your cooperation is appreciated.
ABSOLUTELY NO CONSUMPTION OF ALCHOLIC BEVERAGES PRIOR TO OR DURING FLYING. Should you decide to sample the local wine (it is good by the way) then; 1. Pack up your R/C gear 2. Notify the CD (me) your gear is packed and that you are done flying 3. Sample the wine...heckling of those still flying will be strongly encouraged ;D .

:P

Please post here if you are planning to attend, I look forward to seeing you there!

I met with the winery folks today to discuss the field orientation.

Based on the flyer I saw today, it looks like it is more of a catered barbeque than an actual pig roast. They will have the options of pulled pork, ribs, or chicken.

They are excited about the event and will be mowing a LARGE area for us!

So far I have only heard from two people that are planning to attend. We need more people!!!

Please let me know as soon as possible if you are attending, so I can plan accordingly.

Cheers,

Doug
