Hedeby Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Ok, so looking forward to next year and trying to tie down dates.... Duxford is on 3rd weekend of September and the St.Leger Race meeting (in Doncaster) is on 9th-12th of September, to avoid both of these I would be looking at either the 1st or last week in September, so thats the 2nd-4th or 23rd-25th. Which works better for folk? let me know and I will sort things out. Quote
David Manley Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Earlier would be better for me, it avoids the start of term at uni Quote
Guntruck Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Earlier would be better for me too. Quote
Dan-Sam Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Later for me, but earlier is also OK. Please, note the final term into calendar here on the Aerodrome or/and to the very first post of this thread (it is better to have all informations on one place without need to seek them in the rest of thread).

johnbiggles Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 We would prefer not to be so close to the August bank holiday, but either will be attended Quote
Flying Helmut Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I'd prefer the early one, to save me from attending both Duxford AND Doncatraz, but could do either Donnie weekend. Quote
Flying Officer Kyte Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Probably for the same reason as John Eileen and I would prefer the later date, but also like him we could do the earlier one if we had to. Rob. Quote
Hedeby Posted September 25, 2021 Author Posted September 25, 2021 I'll leave this thread open a little longer then review the feedback Quote
Hedeby Posted October 1, 2021 Author Posted October 1, 2021 Right.... so having spoken to the museum today, things are a little congested next year (lots of bookings carried forward from 2020) Keeping the event to the September period leaves us only two free weekends. Firstly we have 16/17/18th - now this is St. Leger weekend which might cause an issue with hotel bookings (although probably not if we booked early enough), the second option is the very last weekend which is 30th Sept and 1st/2nd October. I have pencilled in both of these, we need to decide which is going to work best for us (we are missing Duxford on these dates, which helps) Feedback appreciated chaps... can always but a vote up and see what that gives us...

tikkifriend Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Well its got to be the last weekend in September if theres no accommodation !! unless you can put us all up at yours Chris:lol: Quote
Flying Helmut Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Book it now, for the 30 / 1 / 2 weekend. Many St. Leger folks will book accommodation before us; some may already have done so! And it's not just a hotel issue - pubs and restaurants will be packed out as well, affecting anyone who wants to arrive a day early and/or leave a day later.

Flying Officer Kyte Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 I'm up for the last weekend in September too Chris. Rob. Quote
Hedeby Posted October 1, 2021 Author Posted October 1, 2021 I have provisionally booked both, I will confirm on Tuesday. Quote

Boney10 Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I am happy with last weekend in Sept, will book rooms as soon as you confirm. Quote
Hedeby Posted October 3, 2021 Author Posted October 3, 2021 Looking at the options, we will go with the last weekend (30th Sept, 1st and 2nd Oct.) I will confirm with Tracey on Tuesday.. Quote
David Manley Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I've taken a flyer and booked in the usual Mess for the weekend, although at this stage its 50/50 whether I can make it as I will have four university course start dates to deal with around that time (!) Quote
